[00:19]She stands before you naked
[00:24]you can see it, you can taste it,
[00:29]and she comes to you light as the breeze.
[00:38]Now you can drink it or you can nurse it,
[00:43]it don't matter how you worship
[00:48]as long as you're
[00:51]down on your knees.
[00:54]
[00:58]So I knelt there at the delta,
[01:02]at the alpha and the omega,
[01:07]at the cradle of the river and the seas.
[01:16]And like a blessing come from heaven
[01:22]for something like a second
[01:26]I was healed and my heart
[01:31]was at ease.
[01:34]
[01:36]O baby I waited
[01:39]so long for your kiss
[01:43]for something to happen,
[01:49]oh something like this.
[01:56]
[02:13]And you're weak and you're harmless
[02:17]and you're sleeping in your harness
[02:22]and the wind going wild
[02:27]in the trees,
[02:32]and it ain't exactly prison
[02:37]but you'll never be forgiven
[02:41]for whatever you've done
[02:46]with the keys.
[02:49]
[02:52]O baby I waited
[02:56]so long for your kiss
[03:01]for something to happen,
[03:06]oh something like this.
[03:12]
[03:29]It's dark now and it's snowing
[03:33]O my love I must be going,
[03:39]The river has started to freeze.
[03:48]And I'm sick of pretending
[03:53]I'm broken from bending
[03:57]I've lived too long on my knees.
[04:05]
[04:08]Then she dances so graceful
[04:12]and your heart's hard and hateful
[04:16]and she's naked
[04:19]but that's just a tease.
[04:25]And you turn in disgust
[04:30]from your hatred and from your love
[04:35]and comes to you
[04:40]light as the breeze.
[04:42]
[04:45]O baby I waited
[04:49]so long for your kiss
[04:53]for something to happen,
[05:00]oh something like this.
[05:10]
[05:22]There's blood on every bracelet
[05:27]you can see it, you can taste it,
[05:31]and it's Please baby
[05:35]please baby please.
[05:41]And she says, Drink deeply, pilgrim
[05:45]but don't forget there's still a woman
[05:52]beneath this
[05:53]resplendent chemise.
[05:58]
[06:00]So I knelt there at the delta,
[06:05]at the alpha and the omega,
[06:10]I knelt there like one who believes.
[06:20]And the blessings come from heaven
[06:24]and for something like a second
[06:28]I'm cured and my heart
[06:34]is at ease
[06:37]
