The blood imparted in little sips The smell of you still on my hands As I bring the cup up to my lips
No god up in the sky
And no devil beneath the sea Could do the job that you did baby
Of bringing me to my knees
Outside I sit on the stone steps
With nothing much to do
Forlorn and exhausted baby
By the absence of you
