Heard a lot of talk about the ocean Heard a lot of talk about the sea Heard a lot of talk about a lot of things Never meant that much to me
Heard a lot of talk about my spirit Heard a lot of talk about my soul But I decided that anxiety and pain Were better friends So I let it go
Did you let it go? Let's get it back Let's get it back together
Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus A man of love, and a man of strength But what a man was two thousand years ago means nothing at all to me today
He could have been telling me about my higher self But he only lives inside my prayer So what he was may have been beautiful But the pain is right now And right here
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go, my friend And let's get it back Let's get it back together
You say "Hold on to the reigns" I say "Let them go tonight" My brain waves Confused between what is and ain't She cries "Groundless and free"
Tired of the water Tired of the wine Tired of the future Tired of time Tired of the madness Tired of the steel Tired of the violence Tired of me
Used steel Used steel am I What was pliable in love Is now hard and crystallized The intellect is fine For counting money And recalling times That she cried, "Groundless and free"
Hope is a letter that never arrives Delivered by the postman of my fear
all the things that they make you say and all of the love that you hide away I'll pick you up and it will be all right I'll pick you up and it will be tonight
she rode a horse into my head she won't discipline the children and now they're running wild on the beach and I don't care oh, I don't care no I don't care hey, hey, hey
it's the middle of the night and you're here playing dominoes and drinking beer I tried to think of something deep to say but my well is dripping dry today, hey hey, hey, hey
you got it bad you got it good you saw the sun like you knew that you would we gotta make this better gotta make this right ain't no peace in the valley baby 'til the darkness turns to light
can you hear that children's song? can you take me to that place? high above the lamentation up on the desert plane do you hear that children's song? can you take me there?
lost in the maya overboard in the sea there was void and then that water broke then something called "me" now a trip to the desert to look at the sky it's like never-ending mirrors playing tricks on my eyes
can you hear that children's song? can you take me to that place? high above the lamentation up on the desert plane do you hear that children's song? can you take me there?
the face and ghost my guide i must move on it's the face of one ravaged by love it's both dead and alive
you got it bad lover no you got it good you saw the sun like you knew that you would in spite of my confusion up above all my pain I gotta death-grip on this vision here we go again
the face and ghost my guide i must move on it's the face of one ravaged by love it's both dead and alive
sha la la la la la la sha la la la la la la sha la la la la la la can you hear them singin'? can you hear them singin'?
can you hear that children's song? can you take me to that place? do you hear that pilgrim's song? can you take me there?
It came without warning A love like I ain't never felt before She's like my destiny calling And she's lying there all naked on the floor
And suddenly, out of the blue she's singin'...
Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain Bring your burning skin to my river once again I'll give you life Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain tonight
She came without warning like an angel come from heaven in the night (in the night) the kiss makes me tremble so she pulls me close and holds me oh so tight.
And suddenly, out of the blue she's singin'...
Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain Bring your burning skin to my river once again I'll give you life
Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain
I give you life (ooohhh) I'll give you life, baby (oooh) I'll give you love
Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain Bring your burning skin to my river once again I'll give you life Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain Bring your burning skin to my river once again I'll give you life Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain
My ammunition won't load into my gun My inhibitions, they fall like the weight from a stone You lead my heart away like a homeless, dusted fool Somehow this dimestore ring still shines like a diamond to you
Oh, how it deepens Oh, how it deepens
Your mystery Keeps on turnin' me on Your mystery
Thought I knew the rules Thought I held it in my hands Thought I was bulletproof 'til the blood pooled up in the sand Are you a satellite? A shooting star or a dove? Did we put you way up there or did God send you down from above?
Oh, how it deepens Oh, how it deepens
Your mystery Keeps on turnin' me on Your mystery Burns me up like the sun Your mystery
Mine eyes have seen the glory of a love that does transcend Mine eyes have seen the worst inside of man And the fear is like a fallen bridge A broken promise And the proof is in the bloodshot eyes of the one who failed to see
Your mystery Keeps on turnin' me on!
(Heaven is one so why believe when you can see it for yourself)
