Light As The Breeze
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 dont matter how you worship
As long as youre
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 youre weak and youre harmless
And youre sleeping in your harness
And the wind going wild
In the trees,
And it aint exactly prison
But youll never be forgiven
For whatever youve done
With the keys.
O baby I waited ...
Its dark now and its snowing
O my love I must be going,
The river has started to freeze.
And Im sick of pretending
Im broken from bending
Ive lived too long on my knees.
Then she dances so graceful
And your hearts hard and hateful
And shes naked
But thats 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 ...
Theres blood on every bracelet
You can see it, you can taste it,
And its please baby
Please baby please.
And she says, drink deeply, pilgrim
But dont forget theres still a woman
Beneath this
Resplendent chemise.
