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 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
