Matthew Perryman Jones - O Theo lyrics

Under the silence of water Into a sky full of birds Out from the land of our fathers I am falling on your words Mmm-mmm Dark as the night of a preacher I made a bed out of hay They paid me a handful of money But I gave it all away All away... And the righteous raised their stones And the Devil threw his arrows I was longing for a home With nowhere to go Ohh, Theo... In the half-light of the city She took off all of her clothes I flew from the height of the mountains Into a valley of dry bones All alone And my heart was still unknown I was drunk and full of sorrows I was longing for a home With nowhere to go Ohh, Theo... So I set fires of starlight To burn up against the despair I was caught in the tangles of midnight's Long, unanswered prayer: "Are you there?" And the light of morning rose On a field of fallen sparrows I was longing for a home With nowhere to go Ohh, Theo...
