Lilies |
| Again tonight I sang a song, a prayer if you will |
| Fell to the floor on blackened knees, and all the trees fell still |
| Press my hands between my bare knees, and poured in some milk |
| Begged the thunder bolts to strike and mark me as alive |
| All of the lilies on the hill |
| All of the lilies on the hill |
| All of the lilies on the hill |
| Scented the light |
| And so I finished up my prayer, rose slowly and I stared |
| But I was empty as a grave and ghost less was the end |
| Laid back to bed and dove my eyes and searched those further skies |
| Again begged the thunder bolt to strike to mark me or else I will die |
| All of the lilies on the hill |
| All of the lilies on the hill |
| All of the lilies on the hill |
| Scented the night |
| Any second before I sleep |
| Any second before I sleep |
| Did I believe what I did see? |
| Did I believe what came to me? |
| Appeared a figure of a man, waving upon the hill |
| To the window I ran and saw what he had sent |
| Children of a private world, to beacons conceived in milk |
| Hundred marching to my door of bringing dreams to drink |
| Thank God I’m alive! |
| Thank God I’m alive! |
| All of the lilies on the hill |
| All of the lilies on the hill |
| All of the lilies on the hill |
| Scented the night |
