One Way to Pray

You can see with your wounded eye
Cross the lone narrow streets at night
Like a car crash fighting for road, we'd rather sleep alone

I've got arms that could hold enough
And my love song might ask too much
How your shadow grows bitter and long, if I enter it wrong
I enter it wrong, I enter it wrong, I enter it wrong

I could hear but my hands are cold
You could lend me your broken bones
Letting love keep climbin' the stairs to comb your long hair

You can sleep where no dreamer goes
Build our house more of stone than home
Pray for music with reverend years and a song reappears
Song reappears

Open sky receivers, open sea receivers, open land receiver, burning the believer
Open out receiver, open mouth receiver, open pump receiver, burning heart believer

You can sing with your tired lungs, know the wind and we'll take what comes
It's a tough road taking the name they'll call on our grave
We're alive on our thunder clouds, taking hymns out our mothers mouth
Swimming out to the incoming waves, that's one way to pray

Open out receiver, open mouth receiver, open palm receiver, burning heart believer
