I Let Love In — текст песни (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds)

Despair and Deception, Love`s ugly little twins
Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in
Darling, you`re the punishment for all of my former sins


I let love in
I let love in


The door it opened just a crack, but Love was shrewed and bold
My life flashed before my eyes, it was a horror to behold
A life-sentence sweeping confetti from the floor of a concrete hole


I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in


Well I`ve been bound and gagged and I`ve been terrorized
And I`ve been castrated and I`ve been lobotomized
But never has my tormenter come in such a cunning disguise


I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in


O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don`t leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone


O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don`t leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone


I let love in
I let love in


So if you`re sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at you door
and the air is full of promises, well buddy, you`ve been warned
Far worse to be Love`s lover than the lover that Love has scorned


I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
