Sting - 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

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
