I'm praying at my bedroom shrine
|
Saying the words to make you mine
|
All the candles and the flowers
|
To brighten up my lonely hours
|
Wishing you were in my arms
|
Instead of only in my head
|
Praying at my bedroom shrine
|
Looking at a photograph
|
And crying to myself
|
I'm lying to myself
|
That you and me
|
Could ever be
|
Intimately together.
|
|
I'm praying at my bedroom shrine
|
On my knees waiting for a sign
|
All the incense and the charms
|
Are going to bring you into my arms
|
I'm closing my eyes
|
For a soul that cries
|
Praying at my bedroom shrine
|
Looking at your photograph
|
And crying to myself
|
That you and me
|
Could ever be
|
Intimately together
|
|
I gave my soul
|
I gave my blood
|
At the alter to
|
Obsessive love
|
I'm under your spell
|
In a love from Hell
|
Who can tell
|
Where this will end
|
|
My bedroom shrine
|
Waiting for a sign
|
I'm calling down the gods
|
For love against the odds
|
|
My bedroom shrine
|
Pretending that your mine
|
I've an effigy of you
|
To keep me through the night
|
|
Will you ever know
|
This yearning in my soul
|
Will you ever know
|
Just how it feels to die inside
|
|
In my lonely room
|
With my empty bed
|
Wishing you were here
|
Instead of in my head
|
