His Love
Description:
This is a song that Tegan Quin wrote for the audiobook of Augusten Burroughs' memoir A Wolf At The Table. Tegan sings the lead vocals and the background vocals.
Lyrics:
Augusten, if I write something beautiful
Will it squash the hurt that's living deep inside of you?
Augusten, are you just like me?
Does your hurt fade as you write out your history?
I just wanna know how you were able
To survive so long with a wolf at the table
Augusten, so you were hiding in the forest
With your love still laid out before him
Augusten, with that love stuck inside
How did you ever sleep at night?
I just wanna know how you were able
To survive so long with a wolf at the table
Augusten, tell me how were you able
To control the urge to kill the wolf at the table?
His love, his love, you spoke of
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
Augusten, do you struggle for the words?
Does the right way to put it sometimes hurt?
Augusten, am I just like you?
Could I ever truly know what I would do?
I just wanna know how you were able
To survive so long with a wolf at the table
Augusten, tell me how were you able
To control the urge to kill the wolf at the table?
His love, his love, his love
His love, his love, his love
His love, his love, you spoke of
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
One, two, three, four
His love right out the door
One, two, three, four
His love right out the door
One, two, three, four
His love right out the door
His love, his love, you spoke of
Oh oh, oh oh
His love, his love, you spoke of
Oh oh. oh oh
His love, his love, you spoke of
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
