Lay a hand

Upon the water

Well within, well within

Wash away

To fair morrow

Ride ahead, ride ahead

Make your mark

Upon the rock

For another one

Ashes tell tales

Fire gives faith

Burn it up, burn it up

Burn it up, burn it up

She would waste not, not in struggle

No other shall there ever be

And what she is to love, listen, oh my brother

Is as the wind to mercury

Don't you pray

Of a heartless town

Or you'll be forced to flee

Don't you live

In a soulless city

Or you'll have to leave (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

You don't need

No place of birth

Hither to come home

Many a night

Were you ready for your bed

But your bed not ready for you

She would give of herself

And ask not return or eternity (Yeah)

And what she'd offer, listen, oh my brother

Is as the wind to mercury (Mmm)

And she'd hold not of another man

No other shall there ever be (No)

And whom she would hold, listen, oh my brother

Is as the wind to mercury
