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 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 its not exactly prison
But youll never be forgiven
For whatever youve done
With the keys

O baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh - something like this

Its dark and its snowing
Oh my love I must be going
The river is starting to freeze
And Im sick of pretending
Im broken from bending
Ive lived too long
On my knees

And 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 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

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

So I knelt at the delta
At the alpha and the 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
