[length: 07:13]
[00:19.52]She stands before you naked
[00:23.48]You can see it, you can taste it
[00:28.70]And she comes to you light as the breeze
[00:37.96]Now you can drink it or you can nurse it
[00:42.35]It don’t matter how you worship
[00:47.36]As long as you’re
[00:50.95]Down on your knees
[00:57.58]So I knelt there at the delta
[01:01.73]At the alpha and the omega
[01:06.12]At the cradle of the river and the seas
[01:16.24]And like a blessing come from heaven
[01:21.38]For something like a second
[01:25.54]I was healed and my heart
[01:29.81]Was at ease
[01:35.72]Ah baby I waited
[01:39.94]So long for your kiss
[01:44.19]For something to happen
[01:49.67]Oh something like this
[01:59.55]
[02:13.46]And you’re weak and you’re harmless
[02:17.49]And you’re sleeping in your harness
[02:22.03]And the wind going wild
[02:27.27]In the trees
[02:32.07]And it ain’t exactly prison
[02:36.76]But you’ll never be forgiven
[02:41.73]For whatever you’ve done
[02:46.06]With the keys
[02:51.54]Ah baby I waited
[02:55.71]So long for your kiss
[03:00.57]For something to happen
[03:04.97]Oh something like this
[03:14.80]
[03:30.02]It’s dark now and it’s snowing
[03:33.79]Oh my love I must be going
[03:38.26]The river has started to freeze
[03:47.81]And I’m sick of pretending
[03:52.53]I’m broken from bending
[03:57.91]I’ve lived too long on my knees
[04:07.77]Then she dances so graceful
[04:11.99]And your heart’s hard and hateful
[04:16.39]And she’s naked
[04:19.99]But that’s just a tease
[04:26.13]And you turn in disgust
[04:30.34]From your hatred and from your love
[04:35.89]And she comes to you
[04:39.56]Light as the breeze
[04:45.24]Ah baby I waited
[04:49.11]So long for your kiss
[04:54.49]For something to happen
[04:58.22]Oh something like this
[05:07.09]Something like this
[05:23.05]There’s blood on every bracelet
[05:27.33]You can see it, you can taste it
[05:32.01]And it’s “Please, baby”
[05:35.12]”Please baby please”
[05:42.30]And she says, “Drink deeply, pilgrim”
[05:46.58]”But don’t forget there’s still a woman”
[05:51.06]”Beneath this”
[05:54.34]”Resplendent chemise”
[06:01.21]So I knelt there at the delta
[06:05.85]At the alpha and the omega
[06:09.80]I knelt there like one who believes
[06:20.38]And the blessings come from heaven
[06:22.67]And for something like a second
[06:28.49]I’m cured and my heart
[06:33.34]Is at ease
