Intro : (x4)
She sta nds before you naked
You can s ee it you can taste it
And she co mes to you light as the bre eze
Now you can dri nk it or you can nurse it
It don't ma tter how you worship
As lo ng as you're down on your kne es
So I kne lt there at the delta
At the a lpha and the omega
At the cra dle of the river and the se as
And like a ble ssing come from heaven
For so mething like a second
I was he aled and my heart was at e ase
O ba by I waited
So lo ng for your kiss
For so mething to happen
O h something like thi s
And you're we ak and you're harmless
And you're sle eping in your harness
And the wi nd going wild in the tre es
And it ai n't exactly prison
But you'll n ever be forgiven
For whatev er you've done with the ke ys
O ba by I waited
So lo ng for your kiss
For so mething to happen
O h something like thi s
It's da rk now and it's snowing
O my lo ve I must be going
The ri ver has started to fre eze
And I'm si ck of pretending
I'm br oken from bending
I've li ved too long on my kne es
Then she da nces so graceful
And your he art's hard and hateful
And she's na ked but that's just a te ase
And you tu rn in disgust
From your ha tred and from your love
And she co mes to you light as the bre eze
O ba by I waited
So lo ng for your kiss
For so mething to happen
O h something like thi s
Something like t his
There's blo od on every bracelet
You can se e it you can taste it
And it's ple ase baby please baby ple ase
And she sa ys drink deeply pilgrim
But don't forg et there's still a woman
Bene ath this resplendent che mise
So I kne lt there at the delta
At the a lpha and the omega
I kn elt there like one who beli eves
And the ble ssings come from heaven
And for something like a second
I'm cu red and my heart is at ease
