Sam Phillips - I Need Love

i left my conscience like a crying child
locked the doors behind me put the pain on file
broken like a window i see my blindness now

i need love
not some sentimental prison
i need god
not the political church

i need fire
to melt the frozen sea inside me
i need love

driving into town tired and depressed
like a flare the streetlight bursts an s.o.s.
peace comes to my rescue and i don't know what it means
i need love
