How Would I Know Love Now?

You give me reason to leave
Well you know I'll stay
You give me reason to stay
Well goodbye baby I'm on my way

Underneath this poet's moon
I'm move to speak to soon

I know needles and nails
I know Magdalene and Christ
She makes the deals
He can pay the price
She can walk crooked
High and drunk and lost
And he gets the cross

How would I know love now
How would I how would I would I know love now

The lure of memories
That's just a sucker game
I tried to dig your history
I guess you had me trained

And underneath this poet's moon
I'm move and speak too soon

I know how much you have been using
How close you are to death
I know that you've have been using
I can smell it on your breath

I know that buying you off is easier to do
Easier then holding back so you'd come too

How would I know love now
How would I how would I would I know love now
How would I how would I would I know love now
How would I how would I would I know love now

Upon the breath of a bitter wind
Upon the wings of a hurricane
You blew in with the dust
And you blew out just the same
You're a begger in the depot
Bending to the floor
You are dirty clothes in a paper bag
Nameless in a morgue

You are a spirit on the highway a
Appearing in the rain
You are an old ghost in the railyard
You never saw the train
And underneath this poet's moon
I swear to leave your tomb;

I leave you underneath
Payin' for your crime
I'm ready to go walking now
Walking in the light

How would I know love now
How would I how would I would I know love now
How would I how would I would I know love now
How would I how would I would I know love now
