|
She stands before you naked |
|
you can see it, you can taste it, |
|
and she comes to you light as the breeze. |
|
Now you can drink it or you can nurse it, |
|
it don't matter how you worship |
|
as long as you're |
|
down on your knees. |
|
So I knelt there at the delta, |
|
at the alpha and the omega, |
|
at the cradle of the river and the seas. |
|
And like a blessing come from heaven |
|
for something like a second |
|
I was healed and my heart |
|
was at ease. |
|
O baby I waited |
|
so long for your kiss |
|
for something to happen, |
|
oh something like this. |
|
And you're weak and you're harmless |
|
and you're sleeping in your harness |
|
and the wind going wild |
|
in the trees, |
|
and it ain't exactly prison |
|
but you'll never be forgiven |
|
for whatever you've done |
|
with the keys. |
|
O baby I waited ... |
|
It's dark now and it's snowing |
|
O my love I must be going, |
|
The river has started to freeze. |
|
And I'm sick of pretending |
|
I'm broken from bending |
|
I've lived too long on my knees. |
|
Then she dances so graceful |
|
and your heart's hard and hateful |
|
and she's naked |
|
but that's just a tease. |
|
And you turn in disgust |
|
from your hatred and from your love |
|
and comes to you |
|
light as the breeze. |
|
O baby I waited ... |
|
There's blood on every bracelet |
|
you can see it, you can taste it, |
|
and it's Please baby |
|
please baby please. |
|
And she says, Drink deeply, pilgrim |
|
but don't forget there's still a woman |
|
beneath this |
|
resplendent chemise. |
|
So I knelt there at the delta, |
|
at the alpha and the omega, |
|
I knelt there like one who believes. |
|
And the blessings come from heaven |
|
and for something like a second |
|
I'm cured and my heart |
|
is at ease |
