Lyrics

[Verse 1] The deal that he made with the old sheep's skull When he kissed its teeth in the rain The deal that he made and lot in shores Upon a stormy day [Verse 2] He may look blind behind his frames But inside he can see for miles He sees what's written in your small, sad smile What's written between the lines [Verse 3] Yes, the sea of all that love You seem so keen to give It left you with your confused thoughts On who to be and not to be with [Verse 4] But the gods, they walk with him so close Every step of the way Through thick and thin and right and wrong He learns a lesson every day [Verse 5] Being left alone so many times Nursing hurt and pain He offers it all to the gods as he shouts Deep into his friend the rain [Verse 6] Let him hold you close today You don't know how he feels Don't turn the tables once again Oh spinning of the wheel [Verse 7] Then hope and pray that come the day He will walk with you And quench the fire burning in all those songs That he wrote back in '92 [Verse 8] The deal that he made with the old sheep's skull Upon a rainy day The deal that he made when he tasted blood As he took its mouth away [Verse 9] The deal that he made with the old old gods Only they knew how he feels The deal that seems so far away And the deal that made you real [Verse 10] He knew the power, he knew the pain He knew not to ask for this He knew and did it anyway When he gave that skull a kiss [Verse 10] He knew the power, he knew the pain He knew not to ask for this He knew that and did it anyway When he gave that skull a kiss
