Begin again, no easy trick Without a guide or walking stick Begin before the bells of twilight peal Downhill town, the road ahead
Spiral as a serpentÂŽs bed A teaspoon of desire for my meal
I trade my tears To ask the Lord for proof of love If only for the consolation Of gazing at the stars above
Amen, amen, amen
The road is steep, the air is thin I hear a voice inside my skin DonÂŽt be afraid, your days wonÂŽt end with night Feel the sun, drink the rain Let your body heal its pain
Bathe beneath a waterfall of light
I trade my tears To ask the Lord for proof of love If only for the explanation That tells me what my dreams are made of
Amen, amen The valley below an ocean of debris
I ask the Lord for proof of love Love is all I seek, love is all I seek And when at times my words desert me Music is the tongue I speak
I rest my head beside a white oak tree No deadly nightshade, Belladonna dare lay a leaf on me
Silent night Still as prayer Darkness fills with light Love on Earth is everywhere
