[00:17.03]He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
[00:24.71]He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
[00:32.50]He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory
[00:40.08]I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me
[01:03.31]He said dance for me, fanciulla gentil
[01:10.95]He said laugh a while, I can make your heart feel
[01:18.82]He said fly with me, touch the face of the true god
[01:26.57]And then cry with joy at the depth of my love
[01:35.12]Cause I've prayed days, I've prayed nights
[01:39.01]For the lord just to send me home some sign
[01:42.93]I've looked long, I've looked far
[01:46.72]To bring peace to my black and empty heart
[01:51.53]
[02:37.89]My love will stay till the river bed run dry
[02:45.22]And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
[02:52.88]I love him longer as each damn day goes
[03:00.72]The man is gone and heaven only knows
[03:09.40]Cause I've cried days. I've cried nights
[03:13.34]For the lord just to send me up some sign
[03:17.16]Is he near? Is he far?
[03:21.12]Bring peace to my black and empty heart
[03:24.87]So long day, so long night
[03:28.81]Oh lord, be near me tonight
[03:32.61]Is he near? Is he far?
[03:36.51]Bring peace to my black and empty heart
[03:41.58]
