Light As the Breeze

Lyrics

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 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's not exactly prison
 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 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
