Gathering Field - The Soul Is Human lyrics

The crescent moon sits waxing in the clear, blue sky tonight Joanna sits relaxing down by the riverside The cigarette she's smoking, a symbol of her sin The words they still ain't spoken just a' hanging in the wind The soul is blackened by desire unprotected The soul is weakened by love that goes neglected The soul is drowning in a sea of sweet perfume and Oh, lest we forget, the soul is human Oh, lest we forget, the soul is human What tangled webs we weave from idle speculation A long, lost friend perceived the depth of her frustration Beer bottle sweating, she sits peeling off the label She'll start regretting this as soon as she is able The soul is blackened... Oh it's been so long Since she felt this way Yeah it's been so long Since she felt anything "Just one more minute." She whispers in the moonlight She's so deep in it, she cannot hold him too tight The wheels are turning, she can feel them in the distance With such sad yearning, hard to put up much resistance The soul is blackened...
