The Biblical Way

Nights were cold my dear
Until you appeared
Left your handprint on my headboard
Barely knew your Christian name
Year you were born but not the day
But I sure knew you
In the biblical way
It’s nice to know you
In the biblical way

I kissed the crucifix
Hung in your cleevage
All my pain and all my desire
Now the sheets will wear a stain
But you’ve washed away the shame
I’m proud to know you
In the biblical way
It’s nice to know you
In the biblical way

I hooked your hoop earring
You took my purity
Souvenirs for which we’ll return
In the night you’ll slip away
In my dreams I will replay
How I know you
In the biblical way
It’s nice to know you
In the biblical way
Praise god I know you
In the biblical way
