lyrics

Hold a couple years then, say a prayer and let them go
See the almond branch swept, over the ocean low
Your resurrection eyes now, turning it all upside down
Half a mind to run and, half to turn around

We were like lightning burning, on a plain that no one sees,
Faded faster than it started, along with all its the heat
An answer for your yearning, forever there will be

These chains like a robe of love
A glance from the Father’s face
Bring down what is held above
Through all our desert ways

Started over every morning, bring down the water from the shelf
Pulled off all that honor, yeah and put it on someone else
Her heart could catch you from a distance, through the gale sent back your own
Not a single word was wasted, put them all inside a song

If nothings like you left it, well, no it never runs too far
The mercy we are after, it finds you in the dark
On either side of every door, hailed it with a steel guitar
