Sold - Joe Henry

Please don’t speak another truth out loud

Whatever else you do

I only want you keep me lost in your cloud

I’ll do the same for you

Don’t believe a single thing you’ve heard

Really, I’m as good as gold

You don’t need to sell me with another word

I’m already sold

If I give in to your open arms

Then you can think the worst of me

For pulling out my weakness like a charm

And making sure you’d see

Love, when it’s defeated, just remember

Can still keep you in its hold

No need now to tempt me with surrender

I’m already sold

What was that, A lonesome battle cry?

Sweeping in upon us from the rear?

Like a child, I hide my eyes

And think I’ve disappeared

Mercy, hope, faith and love and treason

Are trump as long as darkness holds

I don’t need to see the sun, there’s no reason

I’m already sold
