Lyrics

[Verse] My body was sleeping While my poor mind was dreaming When they woke me up I didn't know that I'd been screaming [Verse] And my old heart was pounding For the devil had found me Trapped me in a corner Of my mind [Verse] And my legs were both shaking From the pain they'd been taking Picked my body up And aimed for home [Verse] But these boots have seen better Can't make sense of this weather Rolling over me Up in the sky [Verse] But I was warm like a fire For I was full of desire To hold on To not let go [Verse] Thought of friends, thought of family And all who surround me Those enemies I danced with, so long ago Let them know [Chorus] If you find water Please call my name Put me out like a fire Cover me in rain [Verse] Thought of stars and the planets Wondered how they could have planned this And what were they thinking How could they have known? [Verse] I felt small but full of pride I felt tall for my size My eyes were black And fixed on the night [Verse] And your name just hung From a song I had sung There in the air Suspended by beauty [Verse] There are words that get spoken Oh, and lives they leave broken Some stone breaks in half And some stone shatters [Verse] But my speech had been fleeting Like the company I'd been keeping I never asked for their names They never asked for mine [Verse] Just a polluted highway Or a clouded skyway I'm a mess, I confess Now send me the maid [Chorus] If you find water Please call my name Put me out like a fire Cover me in rain [Verse] Thought of stages with their singers Oh, and painters with their fingers I was strong like a horse In carrying my song [Verse] To drop it off in some stable When I was young I was able To never turn around To never look behind [Verse] To grow old, to grow distant Like a mare in the distance Bothering no one, so let her live Until she dies [Verse] Picture lilies, picture willows And a wide open window To a room with a view And both of us laughing [Verse] Just children, so young Oh, at least, in the scheme With our hair still there And you keep my teeth clean [Verse] I sing, "Who is my creator?" Not my mother, nor my father But before the universe burst Wide on open [Chorus] If you find water Please call my name Put me out like a fire Cover me in rain And if you find water Won't you call my name? Put me out like a fire Cover me in rain
