On this song bass, drums, acoustic guitar and electric guitar were all recorded in one live take. It was a beautiful thing.
lyrics
You came down, became a man
You came down to feel my pain.
You came down, became a man,
You came down to bear my shame
What love, what love...
I long to know
this love that so moved you
- to love a man like me.
You came down, became a man
You came down so I could see.
You came down, became a man
You came down to wash my feet.
What love, what love...
I long to know
this love that so moved you
- to love a man like me.
You laid it down upon a tree
You laid it down to set me free.
You laid it down upon a tree,
You laid it down and died for me.
What love, what love...
I long to know
this love that so moved you
- to love a man like me.
