Lyrics

When I climbed up my tower, looked down to the below I listened with my heart, I recognized her notes A melody was blazing, so ravenous and new Like a thousand voices calling Ten thousand words flowed into... I've got this thirst I cannot fill I've got this hunger I can't kill I've been out searching, I still have not found An answer I'm waiting on So don't be long Don't be long I saw a woman smile, her message to me sent I sold all my possessions to find out what she meant Her mouth is always moving, silently echoing a hymn She's standing on the sun, boy She's asking me to swim Don't be long With a drop on my tongue Don't be long When my tongue is growing dusty and my mouth completely parched The zealot sun relentless in the desert of my heart I ask my lady for a storm cloud, pregnant with relief When she begins to rain on me, I'll begin to drink
