|
I had a big idea |
|
I had a crazy eye |
|
I broke the sacred seal |
|
I told a lazy lie |
|
I've had my conscience bent |
|
I've had my patience tried |
|
I've been up in the desert and |
|
Down by the riverside |
|
Will the eagle fly |
|
If the sky's untrue? |
|
Do the faithful sigh |
|
Because they are so few? |
|
Remember when I cried? |
|
Remember when you knew? |
|
Remember the look in your eyes? |
|
I know I do |
|
And count the stars to measure time |
|
The earth is hard, the treasure fine |
|
To the sea, I'll crawl on my knees |
|
Feel it coming in |
|
Feel it going out |
|
Water covers sand |
|
Blood covers doubt |
|
So I begin again |
|
Again, the healing bow |
|
There was a time when I might have surrendered, but not now |
|
Consult the cards to measure mine |
|
The earth is hard, but the treasure fine |
|
To the sea, I'll wait on my knees |
|
Consult the cards to measure mine |
|
The earth is hard, but the treasure fine |
|
At the sea, I'll wait on my knees |
|
At the sea, I'll wait on my knees |
|
At the sea, I'll wait on my knees |
