lyrics

I lower to you like a sunset
spilling shadow like wine on a wedding dress
and you look up as if into the first falling snow
not to see but to feel, more to ask than to know

What is religion
except a cave to get in
while the lightning is uncoiling
and the crazy rain is boiling?

I’ll be that for you.
You be that for me.

A piece of mercy.
A bit of divinity.
A little piece of mercy.
A little bit of divinity.

Lay with me on this side of the scales;
opposite us will be darkness and coffins and nails,
wearing nothing but our moonlight gazes.
Our arms and legs turn into soft mazes.

What is religion
except a cave to get in
while the lightning is uncoiling
and the crazy rain is boiling?

I’ll be that for you.
You be that for me.

A little piece of mercy.
A little bit of divinity.
A little piece of mercy.
A little bit of divinity.
