• John Hope

They say that time every wound it will heal
But it won’t cure the love that I feel
It found me alive
Now it rots deep inside
Time is a killer, it don’t heal

I first saw her when I was all of seventeen
And I loved her though she never spoke to me
But I watched her every day
From the house across the way
And I prayed that soon she’d come to ask me in

And the whole town smiled when John Hope passed them by
His body filled with mercy and a love for humankind
And I've heard them on the street
Mothers, children, how they’d speak
“Do you think that he will save us all one day, John Hope?
I believe that he could save us all one day”

Well John Hope passed her house every night
And when I saw the curtains twitch it burned inside
But I swear I nearly died when she asked John Hope inside
Him standing there, just taking what was mine

And the whole town smiled when John Hope flashed his eyes
His body filled with mercy and a love for womankind
And I watched her kiss his head
Take him to her bed
And I swear that he will pay for what he’s done, John Hope
I swear he’s gonna pay for what he’s done

And the whole town cried the night that John Hope died
His body soaked in whisky, well he fell into the fire
And the old man from the morgue
He walked in through the door
Saying “Lay that smokin' body on the ground boys
Lay that smokin’ body on the floor”

Yeah the whole town cried the day that John Hope died
But accidents are easy, if you’re too good to be alive
And I've watched her everyday
The last 10 years I’d say
And I swear she looks more beautiful in her dark, dark veil
I swear she looks more beautiful each day

Yeah I swear she looks more beautiful in her black, black veil
I swear she looks more beautiful each day
