Innocent come and bang on that tambourine

The hands that you left, that brought you straight home to me

Were bright blue and swollen, but I feel they can be reattached

Because theres something inside that the man has not figured out just yet

But if this is not what you wanted then say, if this is not what you wanted remember

The days when the church, flooded our valley

So innocent go and make your way straight and fast

to be found where you hide is desired the least and last

That roar from above is not the engines of aeroplanes

its the storm that hides high in the mountain and brings down that last long rain

The church in our chests, the reckless and pealing bells
