not too well acquainted

Joan Osborne

The steeples of the churches pierce the sky
The bells they call to me
Even after all that I know about their history
Studying the stained glass faces
Of the holy and the sainted

Cause you know love and I
We are not too well acquainted

You entered like a soldier
The museum of my mind
Taking what you wanted
Destroying what you left behind
The sight that brought you to your knees
Was a picture I had not painted

Cause you see love and I
We are not too well acquainted

Don't leave me out in the cold
Don't kick me out of your heart
Don't put me out in the street
Don't leave me out in the cold
Don't kick me out of your

Standing on a rooftop
To watch the planes fly in
All those people coming home
To the arms that they will lie in
This is where you kissed me
And I swear I almost fainted
Cause you know love and I
We are not too well acquainted
You see love and I
We are not too well acquainted
