Future Islands On The Water
There are the moments that we save And the dreams that fade away And sometimes they come together And we can walk through the room we made, in the winter
On a bed, made of feather When our hands held the answers To life and love and nothing To life and love, and some things
You just can't pull away I waited for an answer You turned towards me, leaving
Body of mine Body of Christ The tongue is left to dine And takes its precious time
Your body alive My body on fire Give me the chance to burn One last time
Watching from the shore A house caught in storm breathes for the morning And calls us, without warning and pleads To the light in your eyes Never stop your lanterns burning I shield you like a candle
Body of mine Body of Christ Can I be the one who saves your life?
Your body alive My body on fire Can I be the one you hold tonight? Can I be the one? Can I be the one you hold tonight?
