Paroles de White Nile
Careful now, you've come too closeto 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
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
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
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
