I Need Love

I left my conscience like a crying child
locked the door behind me put the pain on file
broken like a window I see my blindness now

I need love
not some sentimental prison
I need god
not the political church
I need fire
to melt the frozen sea inside me
I need love

driving into town tired and depressed
like a flare the streetlight bursts into an s.o.s.
peace comes to my rescue and I don't know what it means
I need love
