There's a pillar in the temple where I carved your name; there's a soul sitting sad and blue Now the remedies you've taken are all in vain; let me show you what love can do let me show you what love can do Darling I can't stop the rain or turn your black sky blue Well let me show you what love can do let me show you what love can do Well now our truth lay shattered we stood at world's end; as the dead sun rose in view Well if any of this matters a kiss my friend; let me show you what love can do let me show you what love can do Darling we can't stop this train when it comes crashing through But let me show you what love can do let me show you what love can do On the bench you lie on all it s nails and rust and the love you've given's turned ashes and dust When the hope you've gathered drifted to the wind; it's you and I now friend (you and I now friend) you and I now friend Here our memory lay corrupted our city lay dry; let me make this vow to you Here where it's blood for blood and an eye for an eye; let me show you what love can do let me show you what love can do Here we bear the mark of Cain but let the light shine through let me show you what love can do let me show you what love can do let me show you what love can do let me show you what love can do
