White Nile

Careful now You've come too close to know The where and when Of your unholy ghost And even though we are made of dust A sliver of gold is inside each of us I am captive high on a daily basis The amount I can't control the way I understand your many faces I lose the sense of what you mean to me Because I know you are The one who can save me With eyes aged along with history I can't pretend that something else would convey me To live one day without the thought of you and me Carry on through the night It's a mess we've made too many times I spend my days avoiding light Lose my view of what you mean to me Careful now You've come too close to know The where and when Of your unholy ghost And even though we are made of dust A sliver of gold is inside each of us So put your weight on top of it Lay into moments that you compliment Fragile feasting lion Taking a bite of what he never tasted Yet he never feared Sermons of an anchor It's such a delicate race I promised my mother I would end in a righteous place So put your weight on top of it
