court and spark

love came to my door with a sleeping roll

and a madman's soul

he thought for sure i'd seen him

dancing up a river in the dark

looking for a woman to court and spark

he was playing on the sidewalk for passing change

when something strange happened

glory train passed through him

so he buried the coins he made in people's park

and went looking for a woman to court and spark

it seemed like he read my mind

he saw me mistrusting him and still acting kind

he saw how i worried sometimes

i worry sometimes

all the guilty people

he said

they've all seen the stain

on their daily bread

on their christian names

i cleared myself

i sacrificed my blues

and you could complete me

i'd complete you

his eyes were the colour of the sand and the sea

and the more he talked to me

you know

the more he reached me

but i couldn't let go of l.a. city of the fallen angels
