take a hand and stretch it 'cross the western sky
nail it there and watch
the crimson ribbons flow through scarlet tides
oh... i'm waiting here for you
oh... i'm waiting here for you
another hand is reaching over fields of rye
nail it there and watch
another bloody sunrise
oh... i'm waiting here for you
oh... i'm waiting here for you
with your arms around the world
i'll leave you there
with your arms around the world
don't come down
i kiss your hand with the lips that curse your name
i'll give my soul, but not my life, my breath
if it's all the same to you
but when my face is blue
i'm waiting here for you
oh…
w
ith your arms around the world
i'll leave you there
with your arms around the world
don't come down
you cannot have my life
that belongs to me
just stay up on your cross
for everyone to see...
you
if blindness is the opiate of misery
then anger is the drug that makes me want to see
oh... i'm waiting here for you
i leave you there but i'm still waiting here for you...
