Sacred Love Lyrics - Sacred Love - Sting

Take off those working clothes 

put on these high heeled shoes 

don't want no preacher on the tv baby 

don't want to hear the news 

Shut out the world behind us 

put on your long black dress 

no one's ever gonna find us here 

just leave your hair in a mess 

i've been searching long enough 

i begged the moon and the stars above 

for sacred love 

I've been up, i've been down 

i've been lonesome, in this godless town 

you're my religion, you're my church 

you're the holy grail at the end of my search 

have i been down on my knees for long enough? 

i've been searching the planet to find 

sacred love 

The spirit moves on the water 

she takes the shape of this heavenly daughter 

she's rising up like a river in flood 

the word got made into flesh and blood 

the sky grew dark, and the earth she shook 

just like a prophecy in the holy book 

thou shalt not covet, thou shalt not steal 

thou shalt not doubt that this love is real 

so i got down on my knees and i prayed to the skies 

when i looked up could i trust my eyes? 

all the saints and angels and the stars up above 

they all bowed down to the flower of creation 

every man every woman 

every race every nation 

it all comes down to this 

sacred love 

Don't need no doctor, don't need no pills 

i got a cure for the country's ills 

here she comes like a river in flood 

the word got made into flesh and blood 

thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill 

but if you don't love her your best friend will 

All the saints up in heaven and the stars up above 

it all comes down, it all comes down 

it all comes down to love, 

Take off your working clothes 

put on your long black dress 

and your high heeled shoes 

just leave your hair in a mess 

I've been thinking 'bout religion 

i've been thinking 'bout the things that we believe 

i've been thinking 'bout the bible 

i've been thinking 'bout adam and eve 

i've been thinking 'bout the garden 

i've been thinking 'bout the tree of knowledge, and the tree of life 

i've been thinking 'bout forbidden fruit 

i've been thinking 'bout a man and his wife 

I been thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout 

sacred love, sacred love
