One Flesh

<br>With the sun in your eyes<br>Always mistaking<br>The truth from the lies<br>In the love that you`re making<br>Don`t pretend it isn`t so<br>With the sun in your eyes<br>It always reveals<br>A voluntary bondage<br>That always appeals<br>It`s how you make the garden grow<br>But why this weakness<br>No-one knows<br>Our conscience cries his sorrow<br>While we sleep<br>But once the morning`s dawned<br>Out the back-door<br>Silently he creeps<br>With the sun in your eyes<br>Always reminding<br>A sense of excitement<br>You`ve no hope of finding<br>With the chains that bind your feet<br>Belonging or longing<br>For a few empty hours<br>In a strangers bed<br>To chase away<br>A fear that`s in your head<br>And why this weakness<br>No-one knows<br>The vacant faceless voices<br>On the phone<br>Bring words that offer no<br>Consolation when you`re all alone<br>With the sun in your eyes<br>Beaten on the brow of history<br>A union forged in slavery<br>In all that`s hope and decency<br>A hope for you and a hope for me<br>For every woman child and man<br>To those who`ll chain you if they can<br>The babe you`re bouncing on your knee<br>Needs your help now can`t you see
