She stands before you naked
You can see it, you can taste it
But she comes to you light as the breezeYou can drink or you can nurse it
It don't matter how you worship
As long as you're down on your kneesSo I knelt there at the delta
At the alpha and the omega
At the cradle of the river and the seasAnd like a blessing come from heaven
For something like a second
I was healed and my heart was at easeO baby, I've waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh, something like thisAnd you're weak and you're harmless
And you're sleeping in your harness
And the wind going wild in the treesAnd it's not exactly prison
But you'll never be forgiven
For whatever you've done with the keysO baby, I've waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh, something like this
Something like thisIt's dark and it's snowing
Oh, my love, I must be going
The river is starting to freezeAnd I'm sick of pretending
And I'm broken from bending
I've lived too long on my kneesAnd she dances so graceful
And your heart's hard and hateful
And she's naked but that's just a teaseAnd you turn in disgust
From your hatred, from your love
And she comes to you light as the breezeO baby, I've waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh, something like this
Something like thisThere is blood on every bracelet
You can see it, you can taste it
And it's please baby
Please baby pleaseAnd she says, drink deeply, pilgrim
But don't forget there's still a woman
Beneath this resplendent chemiseSo I knelt there at the delta
At the alpha, at the omega
I knelt there like one who believesAnd like a blessing come from heaven
For something like a second
I was cured and my heart was at easeO baby, I've waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh, something like this
Something like this
Oh, something like this
