Verse:

                                    
Tonight I cried the tears of a child

                                         
Who knows what fears run deep and wild inside

                                  
But the river's in flood tonight

                                                  
I layed down and the light streamed across my face

                                               
I felt the beauty of some deeper grace and I tried

                                      
To find my way to the other side


Chorus:

                                
Now I, feel you skin as smooth as silk

                               
Drunk like a baby on his mama's milk

                           
Take me down under the wishing tree

                                          
And lay your healing hands on me


and then back to the verse again, repeat it and the chorus
