I was once a killing man
Killing time with blood on my hands
Love is now my alibi
I use love now to get me by
From the days to the nights
To the mornings you hold me tight
Over hills and rocky cliffs
You're my one, the ring it fits
Brothers lost are brothers missed
I will love their families and teach their kids
Youth was once a cage for me
Youth has set my old age free
I was lost, now I'm found
I embrace the ups and the downs
Over hills and rocky cliffs
You're my one true love, I insist
You saved me from giving up
You save me from falling down
I was once a killing man killing men
Their blood's on my hands
Love is now my alibi
I use love now to get me by
From the days to the nights
Through to mornings you hold me tight
Over hills and bloody shores
Nothing in this world is quite as pure
As your love
As our love
As love
Love, love
Love
I was once a killing man
I am killing time now
