lyrics

a room full of dividers
and ears pressed against the wall
only the whispers are heard
of ghost in the graveyard being called

what is a kiss anyway
late at night made to the AM
with all of the daylight removed
and pure as an Easter hymn

a river that don’t know it’s a river
and air that don’t know that it’s air
it’s all part of the revelation
following an answered prayer

I’m afraid of wanting her
I’m scared of the slightest pull
of the instinct buried deep
sensing only a miracle

she’s got soul that’s on other side
of a bridge raised up high
I’ll look straight down and know
that her soul is the water below

a river that don’t know it’s a river
and air that don’t know that it’s air
well it’s all part of the revelation
following an answered prayer
