Texty
My mother told me every breath
Holds the power of life and death
My teachers warned me, "Watch what you sing
Whoever's listening will believe"
When you serve it up
On that silver tongue
When you serve it up
On that silver tongue
I'll hold you with my hands open
But you'll stay
I bend with your branches
When they sway
You've sworn you'll never close the circuit
But I can see my will is working
Conviction for breakfast
That's what I keep the hours fed with
I'm heaven darkie
Then you smile in
I'm heaven darkie
Then you smile in
I'll hold you with my hands open
But you'll stay
I bend with your branches
When they sway
I'll hold you with my hands open
But you'll stay
I bend with your branches
When they sway
You'll stay
You'll stay
You'll stay
You'll stay
I'll hold you with my hands open
But you'll stay
I bend with your branches
When they sway
I'll hold you with my hands open
But you'll stay
I bend with your branches
When they sway
