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
  Oh-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 whatevre 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 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 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
  
  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
  Oh-something like this
