Someone Above Me Tonight |
| It’s three in the morning |
| The barman is leaving |
| Someone I met |
| While drinking this evening |
| I gave him my number |
| In ink on a coaster |
| He was solemn and ugly |
| He’d served as a soldier |
| I asked if he’d seen |
| Anyone close to him die |
| He said his best friend |
| Had been shot in the chest but survived |
| He said that he prayed |
| As he knelt by his side |
| And God must have listened |
| And spared him his life |
| He asked if I prayed |
| And I told him I tried |
| But I got the answer machine |
| Half of me joking, half of me hoping |
| Everything he said was right |
| One way or another, a God or a lover |
| I need someone above me tonight |
| I surrender, oh Lord |
| I surrender, oh Lord |
| In my hand there’s a stone I found in the foam |
| While walking the beaches of Jura alone |
| Where I swear that I saw you down on the shore |
| Eyeing the ocean like a commodore |
| So I ran and I ran and I ran |
| To the spot where you stood |
| And when you weren’t there |
| I felt the despair of knowing I’d lost you for good |
| So I cried and I cried and I fell to the ground |
| At the height of my misery |
| That’s when I found one beautiful stone the sea had laid down |
| The colour of your sky blue eyes |
| So am I just lonely |
| Or was this some holly offer to show me the light? |
| One way or another, a God or a lover |
| I need someone above me tonight |
| I surrender, oh Lord |
| I surrender, oh Lord |
| I was holding the stone |
| While we made love |
| Pressing so tightly |
| That I drew blood |
| And like an offering |
| To the Lord above |
| I let it drip in the bed |
| Into the perfume and sweat |
| I surrender, oh Lord |
| I surrender, oh Lord |
