Paroles
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Aw, baby, I've waited so long for your kiss
For somethin' to happen
Whoa, somethin' like this
[Verse 4]
And you're weak and you're harmless
And you're sleeping in your harness
And the wind goin' wild in the trees
And it's not exactly prison
But you'll never be forgiven
For whatever you done with the keys
[Verse 5]
Aw, baby, I've waited so long for your kiss
For somethin' to happen
Aw, somethin' like this
Somethin' like this
[Verse 6]
It's dark and it's snowin'
Oh, my love, I must be goin'
The river is startin' to freeze
And I'm sick of pretendin'
And I'm broken from bendin'
I've lived too long on my knees
[Verse 7]
And she dances so gracefully
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, from your love
And she comes to you light as the breeze
[Verse 8]
Aw, baby, I've waited so long for your kiss
For somethin' to happen
Whoa, somethin' like this
Somethin' like this, oh
[Verse 9]
Well, 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
Don't forget there's still a woman
Beneath this resplendent chemise"
[Verse 10]
So I knelt there at the delta
At the alpha, at 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
[Verse 11]
Aw, baby, I've waited so long for your kiss
For somethin' to happen
Aw, somethin' like this
Somethin' like this
Aw, somethin' like this
