lyrics

Out of the sky you made your way to me
As you descend upon the water
And I've been waiting for hours
Just to see what's really out there

Because you're like a tree out on the cliff
And I would climb out on you if
My weight just wasn't far too much for you to bear
So I'll send my words out on the breeze
To flow between those withered leaves
That cling to you despite the fact that winter came and left
But words are just a compromise
Of everything I want to find
And sacred things I'm trying to keep close to me
So I'll tell you that you're beautiful
But ears can only hear a stagnant portion
Of what my body offers you

Praise be the lord is really just the same
As the warm air on my neck when you're breathing out my name
Suffer once with sin, suffer twice without
But I can't seem to get that far without my doubt

I was like a bird out on the sea
An awful breeze kept pulling me
Back out to the middle where I was before
And then you came to rescue me
You bore my weight on weathered wings
And took me to the place where all life began
You're beauty cut me like a knife
That drains my body of it's life
My blood becomes a river
Rushing eager for the sea
And there your blood will mix with mine
And we'll discover all in time
The mysteries of God and Love
And lose our grip on death
