The Reverend John DeLore
love among the thorns
Select language to translate this lyric
Yesterday I had a daydream,
The eyes of all the ones I love were turned away.
I played my music loud.
Thatâs just the way I am.
I refuse to let a daydream bring me down.
Yesterday I was a much different man
I tore my jacket on a thorn.
The trees all seem to me like women swaying to and fro.
And laughing at the man with the tear in his coat.
Mama wonât you rock the cradle of my soul?
Time has broke my fatherâs back, dragged his heart across the coals.
All I can do, from the day that I was born,
Is to look for love among the thorns.
