Light As The Breeze Lyrics - Cohen Leonard

She stands before you naked 

you can see it, you can taste it, 

and she comes to you light as the breeze. 

Now you can drink it 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 ain't exactly prison 

but you'll never be forgiven 

for whatever you've done 

with the keys. 

O baby I waited ... 

It's dark now and it's snowing 

O my love I must be going, 

The river has started to freeze. 

And I'm sick of pretending 

I'm broken from bending 

I've lived too long on my knees. 

Then 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 comes to you 

light as the breeze. 

O baby I waited ... 

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 the blessings come from heaven 

and for something like a second 

I'm cured and my heart 

is at ease
