The Innocence Mission Black Sheep Wall lyrics

This is how I love you

I wish for a shade I can pull
I feel so afraid of watching you grow up
This love hurts to much

And I try to build a wall
So I don't have to see you fall and I pray
Go away from my thoughts

Why do you keep coming back?
Why do you keep coming back?
Why do you keep coming back
Over Black Sheep Wall?

Oh, I'd love to hold you close
But I play it cool
Keep my thoughts in a jar
Marked 'Dangerous'

And everyone says, "Never fear
All boys his age experiment with their lives"
My eyes want to close you out
I'll close you out

Why do you keep coming back?
Why do you keep coming back?
Why do you keep coming back
Over Black Sheep Wall?

Why do you keep coming back?
Why do you keep coming back?
Why do you keep coming back
Over Black Sheep Wall?

Brother Black Sheep, love is strong
There's a shepherd out in every storm
He's not afraid of the little rain
Why am I?

Why do I keep building up?
Why do I keep building up?
Why do I keep building up

This Black Sheep Wall?

Oh, I love you so
Do you really know how much?
How deep?
Black Sheep

This is how I love you
This is how I love you
This is how I love you
This is how I love you
My Black Sheep

This is how I love you
With closed eyes
This is how I love you
With turned back

This is how I love you
With distance
And I love you
This is how I love you

This is how I love you
With closed eyes
This is how I love you
With turned back

This is how I love you
With distance
This is how I love you
This I love you

This is how I love you
With closed eyes
This is how I love you
With turned back

This is how I love you
With distance
