The Cure For Pain

The cure for pain is in the pain
So it's there that you'll find me
Until again I forget
And again he reminds me
"Hear my voice in your head
And think of me kindly"

Let me be, let me be

Lowered down like a casket
And buried just below her chest
"Whatever I was searching for
It was never you" she says
The record ended long ago
We go on dancing nonetheless

I opened like a locket
"If you're ever cold" I wrote
"There's warmth inside me
I'm the pocket of an old winter coat"
But where she used to say, "I need you"
Now, "I don't"

You'd only make the softest sound
Like sugar pouring into tea
Darling let yourself pour down
And dissolve into the love
Who revealed himself there quietly to me

Jesus, have mercy on us
