The funny thing about PJ Harvey’s lyrical contents is that, even though nearly all her songs seem that of Christian faith, Harvey was never really religious herself.
Harvey on religion:
I look towards religion as possibly one means to finding an answer, to making sense why we’re here. That’s what...
[Verse 1]
Lover had to leave me
'Cross the desert plain
Turned to me, his lady
Tell me, "Lover, wait"
[Chorus]
Calling Jesus, please
Send his love to me
[Verse 2]
Oh, wind and rain they haunt me
Look to the North and pray
Send me, please, his kisses
Send them home today
[Chorus]
I'm begging, Jesus, please
Send his love to me
[Verse 3]
Left alone in desert
This house becomes a hell
This love becomes a tether
This room becomes a cell
[Chorus]
Mummy, daddy, please
Send him back to me
[Verse 4]
How long must I suffer?
Dear God, I've served my time
This love becomes my torture
This love, my only crime
Oh, lover, please release me
My arms too weak to grip
My eyes too dry for weeping
My lips too dry to kiss
[Chorus]
Calling Jesus, please
Send his love to me
I'm begging, Jesus, please
Send his love to me
