Billy Joel Light As The Breeze Lyrics

Light As The 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 helaed
and my heart
was at
ease

Oh 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 is 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

Oh 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 naked
but that's
just the case
And you turn in disgust
from your hatred and from your
love
and she comes to you
light as the breeze

Oh 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's
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
at 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

Oh baby I
waited
so long for your kiss
for something to happen
oh -- something
like this
