lyrics

The Only One
Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj

You struck my cheek, I gave my coat
I blessed the meek, I cast my vote
I took a chance, I lived the dream
And our romance lost the theme

Blame it on Jesus Christ
On the burning sun
Blame it on the freezing ice
You're the only one

The wheel of life turning round
Couldn't decide sky or ground
For thirty pieces I sold my mind
Faith releases and turns you blind

Blame it on Jesus Christ
On the burning sun
Blame it on the freezing ice
You're the only one

The days are getting shorter
The nights are going wild
The woman of the martyr
Is dressing up, is dressing up
Is dressing up in style

I ate the bread, you drank the wine
You're in my head, I'm on your mind
From God to man, from Man to hell
On desert sands it's hard to tell

Blame it on Jesus Christ
On the burning sun
Blame it on the freezing ice
You're the only one
