Текст песни Love Is a Cross You Bear

Deep down in Texas
Some years ago,
There was a poor preacher
That I came to know
He'd been doing God's work,
For most of his life,
But what he was known for most was his wife.
She was as pretty as she was wild
She gave him no comfort,
She gave him no child,
She set him no table,
She baked him no bread
And once when I asked him about it he said,

Love is a cross you bear
A phony crown you wear
I ain't no saint I never was,
But brother she knows not what she does,
Love is a cross you bear.

Soon I moved on and
Soon I lost track,
But one night in Denver,
It all came back.
In a beautiful church,
With a melodious choir,
There he was preaching his brimstone and fire.
And then this angel The Isaacs - Love Is a Cross You Bear - http://ru.motolyrics.com/the-isaacs/love-is-a-cross-you-bear-lyrics.html
That I'd seen before
Came out and joined him
In his holy war,
She looked at her husband
And as the bell rang
She lifted her angelic voice up and sang

Love is a cross you bear
A phony crown you wear
Once I was lost, but now I'm found
Once I was weak and let love down
Love is a cross you bear

As I left that church,
Amazed as can be,
A great revelation
Came unto me
Of all of the good things
This life is made of,
The best is the sweat from the labor of love

Love is a cross you bear
A phony crown you wear
Sinner repent and make amends
Love has been dying for your sins
Love is a cross you bear
(Repeat)
