Light As the Breeze

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

Aw, baby, I've waited so long for your kiss

For somethin' to happen

Whoa, somethin' like this

And you're weak and you're harmless

And you're sleeping in your harness

And the wind goin' wild in the trees

And it's not exactly prison

But you'll never be forgiven

For whatever you done with the keys

Aw, baby, I've waited so long for your kiss

For somethin' to happen

Aw, somethin' like this

Somethin' like this

It's dark and it's snowin'

Oh, my love, I must be goin'

The river is startin' to freeze

And I'm sick of pretendin'

And I'm broken from bendin'

I've lived too long on my knees

And she dances so gracefully

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, from your love

And she comes to you light as the breeze

Aw, baby, I've waited so long for your kiss

For somethin' to happen

Whoa, somethin' like this

Somethin' like this, oh

Well, 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

Don't forget there's still a woman

Beneath this resplendent chemise"

So I knelt there at the delta

At the alpha, at 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

Aw, baby, I've waited so long for your kiss

For somethin' to happen

Aw, somethin' like this

Somethin' like this

Aw, somethin' like this
