[F]
[A]
[Dm]
[Gm]
[F] She stands before you naked
You can see it
You can taste it
But she comes to you
light [C] as the breeze
You can drink or you can nurse it
It don't matter how you worship
As long as [E] you're down on [F] your [C] knees
[F] So I knelt there at the Delta
at the Alpha and the [D] Omega
[F] at the cradle of the river and
[C] the sea
Like a blessing come from heaven
Or something like a second.
I was healed [E] and my heart [F] was at ease
[G] [A] Oh, baby, I've waited [Dm] so long for your kiss
[A] something to happen

or whatever [E] you
done

Oh my love I must be going
the river
is starting [C] to
freeze
[Am] [C] I'm sick of pretending
But I'm broken
from bending
I've [E] lived too long [F] on my knees
And
She dances so graceful
And your heart's hard and hateful and she's naked
But that's [C] just a team
And you turn in
disgust from your hatred from your love
And she comes to you
light [F] as the
[A] Ah, baby, I've waited [Dm] so long
For [A] something to happen
[Bb]
[F]
[Db]
[Dm]
[D]
[E] [G] Every bracelet you can see it you can taste it and it's please baby
please [D] baby
please
And [Am] she says drink [D] deeply pilgrim
Don't forget there's still a woman
beneath this
[G] resplendent
shimmy
So I knelt there at the Delta at the Alpha at the Omega
I knelt there
Like one [D] who [Bm] believes
And [D] like a blessing come from heaven
For something like a second I was cured and my heart
[G] Was at ease
