She stands before you naked
You can see it, you can taste it
But she comes to you

Light as the breeze
You can drink 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 craddle 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 you harness
And the wind going wild
In the trees

And it's not exactly prision
But you'll never be forgiven
For whatever you've done

With the keys

O baby I waited

So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh - something like this


It's dark and it's snowing
Oh my love I must be going

The river is starting to freeze
And I'm sick of pretending
I'm broken from bending

I've lived too long
On my knees


And 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 she comes to you
Light as the breeze


O baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen

Oh - something like this

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 omega
I knelt there
Like one who believes

And like a blessing come from heaven
For something like a second
I was cured, and my heart

Was at ease

O baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen

Oh - something like this
