Over the Rhine
May God Love You (Like You’ve Never Been Loved)
[Verse 1]
With the darkness surely falling
May I propose a toast?
Is it sacrilegious dancing
In the light of all we’ve lost?
Open and woundable
Good evening, I’m your host
May God love you like you’ve never been loved
[Verse 2]
Is your heart beating sadness
The longest goodbye yet?
Share your bruises on my body
That’s as close as we can get
I’ll never say I’m sorry for offering respect
May God love you like you’ve never been loved
[Bridge]
There is no land of promise here
There’s only wilderness
You may not recognize this place
You live here nonetheless
[Verse 3]
There are no wise men traveling
There is no gift to bring
But if you welcome home a child
You’ve thrown your hat into the ring
We’re not curable, but we’re treatable
And that’s why I still sing
May God love you like you’ve never been loved
May God love you like you’ve never been loved
[Outro]
May God love you like you’ve never been loved
May God love you like you’ve never been loved
