Only Hope


There is peace for the restless one. 
There is peace for the restless one. 
She was on the verge of thinking, 
that her soul was lost and sinking. 
There is peace for the restless one. 

And you, you where my only hope, 
but could you really care for me. 
I even asked the Holy Ghost. 
Are you the one I love the most, 
are you the one to set me free? 

There is hope for the broken one. 
There is hope for the broken one. 
He was gone from the land, 
when cupid reached and took his hand. 
There is hope for the broken one.

And you, you where my only hope, 
but could you really care for me. 
I even asked the Holy Ghost. 
Are you the one I love the most, 
are you the one to set me free? 

There'll be shame for the one so proud. 
There'll be shame for the one so proud. 
Pride comes before a tumble, 
let her live go on and crumble. 
There'll be shame for the one so proud. 

And you, you where my only hope, 
but could you really care for me. 
I even asked the Holy Ghost. 
Are you the one I love the most, 
are you the one to set me free? 

Oh but selfish will be the one crowned, 
selfish will be the one crowned, 
He will be crowned in poison ivy. 
Let the cries go on by me. 
selfish will be the one crowned. 

And you, you where my only hope, 
but could you really care for me. 
I even asked the Holy Ghost. 
Are you the one I love the most, 
are you the one to set me free?

--Kate Anna Rusby (1973- ), English folk singer-songwriter, from Make the Light, 2010
