|
When I climbed up my tower, looked down to the below |
|
I listened with my heart, I recognized her notes |
|
A melody was blazing, so ravenous and new |
|
Like a thousand voices calling |
|
Ten thousand words flowed into.. |
|
I've got this thirst I cannot fill |
|
I've got this hunger I can't kill |
|
I've been out searching, I still have not found |
|
An answer I'm waiting on |
|
So don't be long |
|
Don't be long |
|
I saw a woman smile, her message to me sent |
|
I sold all my possessions to find out what she meant |
|
Her mouth is always moving, silently echoing a hymn |
|
She's standing on the sun, boy |
|
She's asking me to swim |
|
Don't be long |
|
With a drop on my tongue |
|
Don't be long |
|
When my tongue is growing dusty and my mouth completely parched |
|
The zealot sun relentless in the desert of my heart |
|
I ask my lady for a storm cloud, pregnant with relief |
|
When she begins to rain on me, I'll begin to drink |
