Billy Joel Light As A Breeze Lyrics

Light As A Breeze Lyrics

She stands before you naked

You can see it, you can taste it

But she
comes to you

Light as the breeze

You can drink or you can nurse
it

It don't matter how you worship

As long as you're

Down on your
knees



So I knelt there at the delta

At the alpha and the
omega

At the cradle of the river

And the seas

And like a blessing
come from heaven,

For something like a second,

I was healed, and my
heart

Was at ease



O baby I waited

So long for your
kiss

For something to happen

Oh-something like this



And you're
weak and you're harmless

And you're sleeping in your harness

And the
wind going wild

In the trees

And it's not exactly prison

But you'll
never be forgiven

For whatever you've done

With the keys



O baby
I waited

So long for your kiss

For something to happen

Oh-something
like this



It's dark and it's snowing

Oh my love I must be
going

The river is starting to freeze

And I'm sick of
pretending

I'm broken from bending

I've lived too long

On my
knees

And she dances so graceful

And your heart's hard and
hateful

And she's naked

But that's just a tease

And you turn in
disgust

From your hatred and from your love

And she comes to
you

Light as the breeze



O baby I waited

So long for your
kiss

For something to happen

Oh-something like this



There's
blood on every bracelet

You can see it, you can taste it

And it's
please baby

Please baby please

And she says, drink deeply,
pilgrim

But don't forget there's still a woman

Beneath
this

Resplendent chemise



So I knelt there at the delta

At the
alpha and the omega

I knelt there

Like one who believes

And like a
blessing come from heaven

For something like a second

I was cured, and
my heart

Was at ease



O baby I waited

So long for your
kiss

For something to happen

Oh-something like this
