I was stoned with inspiration the day they burnt the fields
Standing at a crossroads, wondering who would yield
And I was thinking about things that I'd never thought before
Trying not to leave but I knew I wanted more
Living in the wind, the passion comes and goes
Sometimes when we're alone, only the sweet Lord knows
Like a melody unfinished, as her body moved away
For the strength to keep on standing on my feet, I prayed
And I said, "I see God in my girl's face
Do you believe that there is, is there really such a place?
Would time allow for me to kiss your lips?
Like a lover's vow, I will give you this."
Racked with indecision on the path I'd wonder down
I tried to shut my eyes but the answer stared me down
There I stood, facing everything I'd always feared
And like a child who'd been found, my belief had reappeared
And I said, "I see God in my girl's face
Do you believe that there is, is there really such a place?
Would time allow for me to kiss your lips?
Like a lover's vow, I will give you this."
Now the corn has died, I almost disappeared
The memory has faded, it's a product of the years
But the truth has never changed, in fact, it has always been
Sleeping there within us, waiting to be let in
Been sleeping there within us, waiting to be let in
Been sleeping there within us, waiting to be let in
Been sleeping there within us, waiting to be let in
Been sleeping there within us, waiting to be let in
Sleeping there within us, waiting to be let in
Been sleeping there within us, waiting to be let in
I said, "I see God in my girl's face
Do, do you believe there's really such a place?
Would time allow for me to kiss your lips?
Like a lover's vow, I will give you this."
Well, I will give you this
Well, I will give you this, yeah yeah
I will give you this
