He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
|
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
|
He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory
|
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me
|
|
He said dance for me, fanciulla gentile
|
He said laugh awhile, I can make your heart feel
|
He said fly with me, touch the face of the true God
|
And then cry with joy at the depth of my love
|
|
'Cause I've prayed days, I've prayed nights
|
For the lord just to send me home some sign
|
I've looked long, I've looked far
|
To bring peace to my black and empty heart
|
|
Ah, ah, ah
|
Ah, ah, ah, aaaaaah !
|
|
My love will stay 'till the river bed run dry
|
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
|
I love him longer as each damn day goes
|
The man is gone and heaven only knows
|
|
'Cause I've cried days, I've cried nights
|
For the lord just to send me home some sign
|
Is he near ? is he far ?
|
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
|
So long day, so long night
|
Oh Lord, be near me tonight
|
Is he near ? is he far ?
|
Bring peace to my black and empty heart.
