the one you love

David Ryan Harris

You say you never have felt the fire
of a burning aching need
We'll go tell your Mama
go tell your Pa that's what you've given me
I tried to bring you roses and wine
I tried to hold your hand


But you think you're so fine
that you'll never be mine
So I dreamt up this evil plan
Bring me the eye of a poisonous snake
it's skin white hot to the touch
and I'll drink a cup of its venomous blood
I'm gonna be the one you love

I'm gonna be the one you love

I found a book, a book without a name
it's secrets bound inside
Strange recipes and soon you will see
there ain't no use in trying to hide
Bring me it's wing when that sparrow won't sing
and the heart of a snow white dove
and by the light of the flame
you'll be howling my name
I'm gonna be the one you love

I'm gonna be the one you love
