lyrics

You filled the cup,
you warmed the bed.
The heart was still,
the flesh was fed.
I’m grateful, though I didn’t say then.

Don’t call again.

You shortened the nights,
darkened the days.
You let the dogs sleep
by the city gate.
I’d give you full marks out of ten.

Don’t call again.

If all roads lead to Rome
God help us all
when Rome starts to fall.

Mother, mother:
is this what you raised us for?
This? Nothing more?
Does love have any other name
than a wolf’s game?

If all roads lead to Rome
God help us all.
All roads lead to Rome:
God help us all
when Rome starts to fall.
