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   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   o baby i waited   so long for your kiss   for something to happen   something like this   and you're weak and you're harmless   and you're sleeping in your harness   and the wind going wild    in the trees   and it's not exactly prison   but you'll never be forgiven   for whatever you've done   with the keys   o baby i waited so long for your kiss   for something to happen   something like this   it's dark and it's snowing   oh my love i must be going   the river is starting to freeze   and i'm sick of pretending   i'm broken from bending   i've lived too long   on my knees   and she dances so grateful   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 and from your love   and she comes to you   light as the breeze   o baby i waited    so long for your kiss   for something to happen   something like this   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   but don't forget there's still a woman   beneath this    resplendent chemise   so i knelt there at the delta    at the alpha and 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   o baby i waited   so long for your kiss   for something to happen   something like this
