Once upon a time you'd talk to me How your wild rivers were reaching out for me And fed into an ocean of love If I had read you carefully You swore to lead me through my sleep Back in a time when I could not even weep You'd find a way to cleanse my soul Come to drown my restless feet While all those simple things that I had not Turned to old friends that I soon forgot I burned all their memory solemnly Still waiting for your flood Till there won't remain that many things to ask
Staying on-shore had to become my greatest task Got to find a way to cleanse my soul on my own And drown my restless feet Oh can't you see how I'm longing for you To take me with you on a river of excess Will need a rainstorm to fill up My emptiness Don't you hear how I'm calling out for you Come wash me over with your current full of pa**ion Your raging streams shall make me melt in Open seas of caress
