lyrics

What was your name my girl, was it patience or was it grace.
What was your name my girl, was it mercy or was it faith

Your father was a puritan man he suffered not the sins.
But even with a bible in-hand you cannot fight the devil and win.

What was your name my girl, my mind and memories fade.
What was your name my girl, was it temperance or was it peace.

The Lord blessed me not with a poets tongue nor a lords true blue blood.
He gave me a fool’s heart and a fool you say I’ve become.

Was it something I did or said, was I just too lithe,
was I cold in the winter, in the summer too light.
Was I the, blue sky in the reign of a drought,
was I the storm cloud in summer, was I the middle-ground

I look all for it in the phone book my dear, but your name would not come to me
We could have been quite lovely together, but I may have drag you down with me.

Love was your name my girl, love was your name.
Whenever I look back my girl love was your name.
