Love lies broken 'neath the sand
She falls, she cuts her hand
She breaks her gloves again.

Love is falling down quite swift
She cuts her little wrist
She breaks her glove and falls.

She knows she's all she's got
She knows she cannot stop
The lies that have been told about her.

Unblessed, unwarranted, she's touched
Unfortunate she came
She's given into shame, again.

Love falls and then relaxes
She pays her taxes
She never cuts the corn.

Love is fortunate in life
She's broken in your door
And now she must pay the price.

She knows she's all she's got
She knows she cannot stop
The lies that have been told about her.

She knows she cannot ever dream
Knows she cannot ever see
The things she's given up in her life.

Love is broken in her sight
She knows she cannot hide
The tears that must be cried.

Oh, love, she falls and cuts her hand
She falls deep across the sand
And then she breaks her gloves, again.

Love is fortunate to be blessed
Oh, deep in her caress
See her in her wedding dress.

Love stumbles as she walks along the lane
She always complains
Of being hurt once again.

Love hitches up her skirt
She tries not to get hurt
Like she knows she's been hurt before.

Oh, she lies there quite naked in the rain
Kisses me without a stain
And without a tear.

Perfumed coins, they fill her hands
Perfume she can understand
Perfume leaves but the scent remains.

From a bottle on her shelf
This unrequited wealth
Stains her time and time again.
