Текст песни I Let Love In - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Despair and deception
Love's ugly little twins
Came a-knocking on my door
I let them in
Darling, you're the punishment
For all of my former sins
I let love in, I let love in
The door it opened just a crack
But love was shrewed and bold
My life flashed before my eyes
It was a horror to behold
A life-sentence sweeping confetti
From the floor of a concrete hole
I let love in, I let love in
I let love in, I let love in
Well, I've been bound and gagged
And I've been terrorized
And I've been castrated
And I've been lobotomized
But never has my tormentor come
In such a cunning disguise
I let love in, I let love in
I let love in, I let love in
Oh Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone
Oh Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone
I let love in, I let love in
So if you're sitting all alone
And hear a knocking at you door
And the air is full of promises
Well buddy, you've been warned
Far worse to be love's lover
Than the lover that love has scorned
I let love in, I let love in
Yeah, I let love in, I let love in
I let love in, baby I let love in
I let love in, I let love in
