Bernie Christie - Ease My Pain Lyrics

There's a man walking down the street
In his hand I see the blade of a knife
His coat turned up against the rain and the wind
His hat dipped to hide his face in the night
But when I close my eyes
The man disappears
And all I'd see is your face
And feel the heat of tears

So I said man
Just cut out my heart
Rip it out
Cut it out of its cage
And if you use the blunt side of the blade
It'll make it hurt more
And ease my pain

Well that man walking down the street
He stopped dead and stared at me
I stood still and waited for him
His eyes were wild but mindlessly
I close my eyes
And the man disappeared
And all I'd feel is the pain
And hear the fear as I
Screamed out your name

Now I said man
Just cut out my heart
Rip it out
Cut it out of its cage
And if you use the blunt side of the blade
It'll make it hurt more
And ease my pain
You know it'll ease my pain

You know it'll ease my pain
