Faithfully Dangerous Lyrics - Over The Rhine

Your paint dries, the canvas smiles 

With two eyes you lift yourself up 

Stroke your skin; there are teeth marks to be sure 

Maybe we're best close to the ground 

Maybe angels drag us down 

I wonder which part of this will leave the scar 

Dip your hands in colors 

While the young night flutters in on you and 

Finger paint me pictures of all you see 

No matter what they say, you'll always be 

Faithfully dangerous, lost and lovely 

So beautiful to me 

I'm not too blind to see 

Red is blood, black is sky 

White's the dove that longs to fly 

You set it free and it beats its wings in me 

It leaves us at a loss for words 

Is that me now in your arms? 

We cradle together and fall down on our knees 

Let the whole world drift downstream 

We'll always be different 

Swim the silent slipstream inside of me 

No matter what they say, you'll always be 

Faithfully dangerous, lost and lovely 

So beautiful to me 

I'm not too blind to see 

Red is blood, black is sky 

White's the dove that longs to fly 

You set it free and it beats its wings in me 

It leaves us at a loss for words 

Is that me now in your arms? 

We cradle together and fall down on our knees 

The heart that beats is yours inside me 

Red is love, black is night 

I'm drunk with angels taking flight 

The heart that beats is yours inside me 

The heart that beats is yours inside me 

The heart that beats is yours
