He told me he loved me He told me he loved me He told me he loved me He told me sweet lies of sweet love Heaven with a burden of the truth He spoke of his dreams Broken by the burden Broken by the burden of his youth Fourteen years he said I couldn't look into the sun She saw him laying at the hand of my gun Hungry for life Thirsty for the distant river I remember his hands And the way the mountains looked The light shot diamonds from his eyes Hungry for life Thirsty for the distant river Like the scar of age Red moon all over my face The war is still raging inside of me I still feel the chill As I reveal my shame to you I'll wear it like a tattoo I'll wear it like a tattoo I'll wear it like a tattoo
