All In The Name

lyrics

All in the Name


I was standing on the rooftop
Sun shining down like gold
I was tryin’ to remember everything bout love that I was told
Some say love is a lesson
The saints and the martyrs smile
They get their hopes up round their heart mile after lonely mile

All in the name of all in the name of
All in the name of love
All in the name of all in the name of
All in the name of love

Young Danny he’s so happy
He’s quick and full of brains
He wants to take his girlfriend walkin’ out on lover’s lane
She’s gonna show his fortune
She’s gonna show his hand
Lay down in the long grass like a woman and a man

All in the name of all in the name of
All in the name of love
All in the name of all in the name of
All in the name of love

Oh but you know love is dangerous
It’ll lay you slow to waste
The father told all his sons you better play it safe
There’s somethin’ in the moonlight
And in the blood in your heart
I don’t know where it stops
No and I don’t know where it starts

All in the name of all in the name of
All in the name of love
All in the name of all in the name of
All in the name of love

The saints are smiling brightly
You can feel it in the air
They cast a timely spell from third street to the corner square
The girls they let their feet go dancin’ and their hair it is undone
The boys sit and play their guitars all day out ‘neath the noon day sun

All in the name of all in the name of
All in the name of love
All in the name of all in the name of
All in the name of love
