Lyrics

[00:16.080] She stands before you naked
[00:19.750] You can see it you can taste it
[00:22.750]
[00:23.440] But she comes to you
[00:25.060]
[00:25.620] Light as the breeze
[00:28.120]
[00:30.930] You can drink or you can nurse it
[00:34.050]
[00:34.600] It don't matter how you worship
[00:37.470]
[00:38.480] As long as you're
[00:40.600] Down on your knees
[00:42.410]
[00:45.840] So I knelt there at the delta
[00:48.460]
[00:49.640] At the alpha and the omega
[00:52.260]
[00:53.390] At the cradle of the river
[00:56.140]
[00:56.880] And the seas
[00:58.500]
[00:59.380] And like a blessing come from heaven
[01:03.870]
[01:04.690] For something like a second
[01:07.240]
[01:08.300] I was healed and my heart
[01:11.800] Was at ease
[01:12.990]
[01:15.730] O baby I waited
[01:18.600]
[01:19.540] So long for your kiss
[01:22.090]
[01:23.530] For something to happen
[01:25.960]
[01:26.900] Oh - something like this
[01:31.950]
[01:43.890] And you're weak and you're harmless
[01:48.820]
[01:49.510] And you're sleeping in your harness
[01:52.000]
[01:53.000] And the wind going wild
[01:55.370]
[01:56.870] In the trees
[01:58.550]
[02:00.860] And it's not exactly prison
[02:03.480]
[02:04.300] But you'll never be forgiven
[02:06.730]
[02:08.410] For whatever you've done
[02:10.660]
[02:11.910] With the keys
[02:13.970]
[02:15.710] O baby I waited
[02:18.580]
[02:19.400] So long for your kiss
[02:22.390]
[02:23.330] For something to happen
[02:26.010]
[02:27.380] Oh - something like this
[02:34.810]
[02:39.360] It's dark and it's snowing
[02:41.240]
[02:49.720] Oh my love I must be going
[02:52.470]
[02:53.410] The river is starting to freeze
[02:58.210]
[03:01.140] And I'm sick of pretending
[03:03.330]
[03:04.580] I'm broken from bending
[03:07.200]
[03:08.820] I've lived too long
[03:11.010]
[03:11.750] On my knees
[03:13.120]
[03:15.870] And she dances so graceful
[03:18.300]
[03:19.180] And your heart's hard and hateful
[03:22.360]
[03:23.300] And she's naked
[03:24.480]
[03:25.110] But that's just a tease
[03:27.420]
[03:31.100] And you turn in disgust
[03:33.220]
[03:34.280] From your hatred and from your love
[03:37.150]
[03:37.780] And she comes to you
[03:40.890] Light as the breeze
[03:42.540]
[03:44.720] O baby I waited
[03:49.400] So long for your kiss
[03:52.330]
[03:53.210] For something to happen
[03:56.320]
[03:57.260] Oh - something like this
[04:00.690]
[04:14.990] There's blood on every bracelet
[04:19.550] You can see it you can taste it
[04:22.580] And it's please baby
[04:23.830]
[04:25.360] Please baby please
[04:27.360]
[04:29.990] And she says drink deeply pilgrim
[04:33.290]
[04:34.100] But don't forget there's still a woman
[04:36.720]
[04:37.870] Beneath this
[04:40.050] Resplendent chemise
[04:41.610]
[04:44.730] So I knelt at the delta
[04:47.540]
[04:48.710] At the alpha and the omega
[04:52.400]
[04:53.520] I knelt there
[04:55.140] Like one who believes
[04:57.760]
[04:59.320] And like a blessing come from heaven
[05:03.380]
[05:04.380] For something like a second
[05:07.620]
[05:07.900] I was cured and my heart
[05:11.390] Was at ease
[05:13.450]
[05:15.140] O baby I waited
[05:18.510] So long for your kiss
[05:21.620]
[05:23.000] For something to happen
[05:26.350] Oh - something like this
