STING lyrics : "Sacred Love"


Take off those working clothes
Put on these high heeled shoes

Don't want no preacher on the TV baby
Don't want to hear the news


Shut out the world behind us
Put on your long black dress
No one's ever gonna find us here

Just leave your hair in a mess
I've been searching long enough
I begged the moon and the stars above

For sacred love

I've been up, I've been down

I've been lonesome, in this godless town
You're my religion, you're my church
You're the holy grail at the end of my search

Have I been down on my knees for long enough?
I've been searching the planet to find
Sacred love


The spirit moves on the water
She takes the shape of this heavenly daughter

She's rising up like a river in flood
The word got made into flesh and blood
The sky grew dark, and the earth she shook

Just like a prophecy in the Holy Book
Thou shalt not covet, thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not doubt that this love is real

So I got down on my knees and I prayed to the skies
When I looked up could I trust my eyes?
All the saints and angels and the stars up above

They all bowed down to the flower of creation
Every man every woman
Every race every nation

It all comes down to this
Sacred love


Don't need no doctor, don't need no pills
I got a cure for the country's ills
Here she comes like a river in flood

The word got made into flesh and blood
Thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill
But if you don't love her your best friend will


All the saints up in heaven and the stars up above
It all comes down, it all comes down

It all comes down to love,

Take off your working clothes

Put on your long black dress
And your high heeled shoes
Just leave your hair in a mess


I've been thinking 'bout religion
I've been thinking 'bout the things that we believe

I've been thinking 'bout the Bible
I've been thinking 'bout Adam and Eve
I've been thinking 'bout the garden

I've been thinking 'bout the tree of knowledge, and the tree of life
I've been thinking 'bout forbidden fruit
I've been thinking 'bout a man and his wife


I been thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout
Sacred love, sacred love:
