lyrics

Beggar for Your Love

I’m a beggar for your love
I just want a little piece of
The love you flaunt
On the streets I haunt
A beggar for your love

I’m a beggar for touch
I need it as my crutch
Like an opera needs a curse
A funeral needs a hearse
A beggar for your touch

Chorus
Don’t make me shake my rattling cup at you

I’m a beggar for those lips
Lord, make me the glass from which she sips
Lay me down in a creek bed
If she won’t even turn her head—
A beggar for those lips

I’m a beggar at her feast
Call in the doctor & the priest
But medicine and prayers
Won’t work on a heart so threadbare—
A beggar at her feast

Chorus
