I wish my love for you like Modigliani I could paint your eyes
With all the colour and the light
With all the darkness that comes with time
I wish my love for you I could write a poem so divine
Like the scent of your skin like a lilac kiss
Like the taste of a thousand year old wine
I wish my love for you I could turn water into wine
I wish my love for you I could turn water into wine
I wish my love for you I could steal from the silent muse
And fill you with the breath of Cohen's delight
Inhaled from moments of great beauty and truth
I wish my love for you I could peel the sack cloth from off of your eyes
And with the tears from a whore or saint
Wipe all the bloodied denial from off of your mind
I wish my love for you I could turn water into wine
I wish my love for you I could turn water into wine
I wish my love for you we could sing of hope and passion and light
Then my muse, maybe my fingers down your spine
Upon your lips across the ink that covers your suicide
I wish my love for you I could turn water into wine
I wish my love for you I could turn water into wine
