...the sargeant drop to the ground
3
in the shadow of a low branch
4
they heard a branch crack to the left
5
then the sound of footsteps
6
two of the renegades carrying firewood , a third with a rifle
7
were walking towards them
8
closer and closer
9
the sea gobbles up the full sun
10
and i look at you and i know you're the one
11
the one i used to know something about
12
and i try to say what it was, but the words won't come out
13
and you ask me to hold you
14
that's the devils' work.
15
you show your palms and i see they're empty
16
and i'd check them twice if you'd let me
17
but you wouldn't do that now would you?
18
i didn't think so.
19
and you ask me to hold you
20
that's the devils' work.

we stand on the sand and we watch the world turn
22
and we stand on the sand and we watch the water burn
23
and we stand on the sand six inches from one another
24
and the sands burn and blow and neither one of runs for cover
25
and you ask me to hold you
26
that's the devils' work.
27
and you ask me to hold you
28
that's the devils' work.
