I had a big idea I had a crazy eye I broke the sacred seal I told a lazy lie I've had my conscience bent I've had my patience tried I've been up in the desert and Down by the riverside Will the eagle fly If the sky's untrue? Do the faithful sigh Because they are so few? Remember when I cried? Remember when you knew? Remember the look in your eyes? I know I do And count the stars to measure time The earth is hard, the treasure fine To the sea, I'll crawl on my knees Feel it coming in Feel it going out Water covers sand Blood covers doubt So I begin again Again, the healing bow There was a time when I might have surrendered, but not now Consult the cards to measure mine The earth is hard, but the treasure fine To the sea, I'll wait on my knees Consult the cards to measure mine The earth is hard, but the treasure fine At the sea, I'll wait on my knees At the sea, I'll wait on my knees At the sea, I'll wait on my knees
