The city is spread Reach to the heavens This cloud cover breathing soft and rain Yes I'm good looking Yes I have money Don't it count for nothing over there. The snow falls dirty We watch our blue t.v. Educated in monotony The rains won't let me see The acid falling from the sky The bloody tears in your eyes. This is my hymn It's the only one I know This is my hymn I lift it up to you. My heart can't quite reach to the heavens Lyin' face down in unbelief
Love or money can't fill it up This empty space that keeps running deep Is it true you love me You're the only one I need One sweet flower of ease in the bitterest Hell Is your voice to me Whisper your love gentle Could you really love me Never disappointed, disenchanted In me you believe I will lie down waitin', I will cry waitin', I will work waitin', Waitin' for your love. This is my hymn It's the only one I know This is my hymn I'm screamin' out to you.
