[00:18.50]She stands before you naked
[00:23.50]you can see it, you can taste it,
[00:28.50]and she comes to you light as the breeze.
[00:37.50]Now you can drink it or you can nurse it,
[00:42.50]it don't matter how you worship
[00:47.50]as long as you're
[00:50.50]down on your knees.
[00:53.50]
[00:57.50]So I knelt there at the delta,
[01:01.50]at the alpha and the omega,
[01:06.50]at the cradle of the river and the seas.
[01:15.50]And like a blessing come from heaven
[01:21.50]for something like a second
[01:25.50]I was healed and my heart
[01:30.50]was at ease.
[01:33.50]
[01:35.50]O baby I waited
[01:38.50]so long for your kiss
[01:42.50]for something to happen,
[01:48.50]oh something like this.
[01:55.50]
[02:12.50]And you're weak and you're harmless
[02:16.50]and you're sleeping in your harness
[02:21.50]and the wind going wild
[02:26.50]in the trees,
[02:31.50]and it ain't exactly prison
[02:36.50]but you'll never be forgiven
[02:40.50]for whatever you've done
[02:45.50]with the keys.
[02:48.50]
[02:51.50]O baby I waited
[02:55.50]so long for your kiss
[03:00.50]for something to happen,
[03:05.50]oh something like this.
[03:11.50]
[03:28.50]It's dark now and it's snowing
[03:32.50]O my love I must be going,
[03:38.50]The river has started to freeze.
[03:47.50]And I'm sick of pretending
[03:52.50]I'm broken from bending
[03:56.50]I've lived too long on my knees.
[04:04.50]
[04:07.50]Then she dances so graceful
[04:11.50]and your heart's hard and hateful
[04:15.50]and she's naked
[04:18.50]but that's just a tease.
[04:24.50]And you turn in disgust
[04:29.50]from your hatred and from your love
[04:34.50]and comes to you
[04:39.50]light as the breeze.
[04:41.50]
[04:44.50]O baby I waited
[04:48.50]so long for your kiss
[04:52.50]for something to happen,
[04:59.50]oh something like this.
[05:09.50]
[05:21.50]There's blood on every bracelet
[05:26.50]you can see it, you can taste it,
[05:30.50]and it's Please baby
[05:34.50]please baby please.
[05:40.50]And she says, Drink deeply, pilgrim
[05:44.50]but don't forget there's still a woman
[05:51.50]beneath this
[05:52.50]resplendent chemise.
[05:57.50]
[05:59.50]So I knelt there at the delta,
[06:04.50]at the alpha and the omega,
[06:09.50]I knelt there like one who believes.
[06:19.50]And the blessings come from heaven
[06:23.50]and for something like a second
[06:27.50]I'm cured and my heart
[06:33.50]is at ease
[06:36.50]
