Our bodies entangled for the first time in the vineyard.

I looked at you and knew
You were the only thing that mattered
There was no one for me but you…

We played in the forest with the other kids.

I held my breath as I watched you swing
Then ran my fingers through your hair…

Your sly stares, your self centered nature, your intimating presence.

Oh, how could anyone not love the terrible things you do?

You would always pretend the scares and bruises weren't from your father, you would try to hide them but…

Oh, how could anyone not want to try and help you?

I always tried, I always loved and one I day I knew you would realize just how you felt too.

And I wept at the mistakes we made
Oh, how could anyone not want to rip it all apart?

They all thought it was so wrong, how we loved with all our hearts.

Oh, how could anyone not love your cold, black heart?

I found you on a Saturday, and that was where I lost you…

Once we'd been caught, I knew you were gone. You were strong enough to escape to save yourself, but you forgot to save me.

You had finally walked away because of what it cost you, years later when I saw your face
In line to catch the morning train, you looked like you'd been softened
Like you never really loved the pain…

When I saw you that morning returning to town, you walked over and hugged me. I knew I had been found. I was safe in your arms. You took me away. Your heart had shown some colour and we seized the day.


Oh, how could anyone not finally diminish?
The thrill of blood comes instantly
There's only darkness at the finish…

We lived, we loved, we laughed, we cried. We did it all together until the end of time when I lost you in my arms.

Meet me at the barricade, I'll be at the barricade
Meet me at the barricade…

Whether that may be at God's door or not, I know that is where I'll find you. When I pass, I'll find you there, at the barricade.
