lyrics

Float like a pebble in the golden morning
Go to the place where the dreams are dawning
Go to the cliff where the waves are crashing
Stand on the edge of the ledge of passion
Mark off the borders with a roll of red tape
Tear em down put em back up in a different place

Pray in the morning to the hips of glory
Blazing like a bird into another story
Die on the inside like a frozen puppet
Melt in the sun on the riverbank pulpit singin

I will not be conquered by this
Fear that grips me tight with icy
Fingers runnin through my hair and mind

Cause I have spent a lot of time just
a running from this fear of mine so
Bring it to me, serve it up I've had enough

And oh, won't you find me
Won't you find me
And won't you leave
And oh, dont you need me
Don't you go needing me
Don't you

Bird headed lady with a pregnant belly
Down on her knees in a backstreet alley
Gunshot blast through the windswept valley
Love is the blood that will carry you to me singing

I will not be conquered by this
Fear that grips me tight with icy
Fingers runnin through my hair and mind

Cause I have spent so many nights just
a running from this fear of mine so
Bring it to me, serve it up I've had enough

And oh, how did this happen
I wasn't planning, planning on you

And oh, have you looked in the mirror
Well what did you see there, woah

What is the shape of my longing will I be received
Like a piece of the puzzle outstanding and awful
Standing in doorways and pacing the hallways and oh
How could it be

What is the size of my sorrow is it really this big
Could it be as tall as a building, vacant and leaning
Into the sea

I will not be conquered by this
Fear that grips me tight with icy
Fingers runnin through my hair and mind

Cause I have spent too many nights
a running from this fear of mine so
Bring it to me, serve it up I've had enough

And oh, won't you find me
Won't you find me
And won't you leave
And oh, don't you love me
Don't you love me
Don't you
