Baptisms
Back when I used to wanderI was always out looking for signsBut they were never thereSo I'd pull 'em from the air
We all believed in somethingBut like you I can't say whyIt's just a whisper in our earOr a bottle for our fears
Hold me to light, let me shineCome hold me to the floorAnd say it's alrightCome hold me 'neath the water's skinUntil I'm new again
And I said what I was thinking:Now you can't see what's good 'til it's goneThen there's something to be saidFor a place to lay your head
You told me I was simpleAnd you injured me with that piece of my mindAnd I listened to the creek and it did much more for me
I'll hold you to the light, let you shineI'll hold you against the floor and say it's alright'Cause down beneath the water's skin, where we will swimThere's diamonds on the surface thenAnd they'll come clean us, we'll both live again
These days I barely wanderAnd I don't need no more of them signsI'll just breathe in all that airAnd be happy that it's there
