David Sylvian - The Blinding Light of Heaven lyrics

I count the tables, she counts the trees
I tell her stories
She speaks of everything she sees
I'm in the shade
She's in the blinding light of heaven

Her fire razed my paper boats
And now she stands before me opening
The buttons of her coat
I find myself wrapped in the
Open arms of heaven

She's giving me everything she owns
Electricity

Now he has worked these idle hands
I've turned my back while she's
Done everything she can
I've lied awake eaten by the poverty of anger

She's giving me directions home
I don't see a thing
Just this gentle glow of halos

He told me of the grace I lacked
He clipped my wings
But now my strength is coming back
I'll lay my case before the
Open heart of heaven

She's giving me everything she owns
I don't see a thing
Just this gentle glow of halos

She's giving me everything she owns
I don't see a thing
She's giving me directions home
I don't hear a thing just this of halos
