Intro
C /G C /G (x2)
She st[C]ands before you naked
You can s[Dm]ee it, you can taste it
And she c[G]omes to you ligh[G7]t as the br[C]eeze
Now you can dr[C]ink it or you can nurse it
It don't m[Dm]atter how you worship
As l[G]ong as you're
Down on your kn[C]ees
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 b[E7]aby I waited
So l[Am]ong for your kiss
For s[E7]omething to happen
[F]Oh something like th[C]is[/G]
[G#dim]
[/D] [Gsus4] [/D] [G] [/D] 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 ain't 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
Oh something like this
It's dark now and it's snowing
O my love I must be going
The river has started to freeze
And I'm sick of pretending
I'm broken from bending
I've lived too long
On my knees
Then she dances so graceful
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
Oh something like this
Something like th[G#dim]is
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 kn[E7]elt there at the delta
At the [Am]alpha and the omega
I kn[E7]elt there like one who bel[F]ieves
And the bl[C]essings come from heaven
And for s[G#dim]omething like a second
I'm c[Gsus4]ured and my heart
Is at [G]ease
