The Boy With The Thorn In His Side Lyrics

Jeff Buckley The Boy With The Thorn In His Side

The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A murderous desire for love

How can they look into my eyes
And still they don't believe me?
How can they hear me say those words
And still they don't believe me?

And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever believe me?
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever believe me?

The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A plundering desire for love

How can they see the love in our eyes
And still they don't believe us
And after all this time, they don't want to believe us
And if they don't believe us now, will they ever believe us?

And when you want to live, how do you start?
Where do you go?
Who do you know?
