Iodine

I needed you, I knew I was in danger
Of losing what I used to think was mine
You let me love you till I was a failure
You let me love you till I was a failure
Your beauty on my bruise like iodineI asked you if a man could be forgiven
And though I failed at love, was this a crime?
You said, Don't worry, don't worry, darling
You said, Don't worry, don't you worry, darling
There are many ways a man can serve his timeYou covered up that place I could not master
It wasn't dark enough to shut my eyes
So I was with you, o sweet compassion
Yes, I was with you, o sweet compassion
Compassion with the sting of iodineYour saintly kisses reeked of iodine
Your fragrance with a fume of iodine
And pity in the room like iodine
