Joe Henry Sold
Please don't speak another truth out loud
Whatever else you do,
I only want you keep me lost in your cloud
And I'll do the same for you.
Don't believe a single thing you've heard
Really, I'm as good as gold.
You don't need to sell me with another word
I'm already sold
If I give in to your open arms
Then you can think the worst of me
For pulling out my weakness like a charm
And making sure you'd see.
Love, when it's defeated, just remember--
Can still keep you in its hold.
No need now to tempt me with surrender
I'm already sold
What was that-- A lonesome battle cry?
Sweeping in upon us from the rear?
Like a child, I hide my eyes
And think I've disappeared.
Mercy, hope, faith and love and treason
Are trump as long as darkness holds,
I don't need to see the sun, there's no reason--
I'm already sold
