Don't Be Long - Army Of Me

When I climbed up my tower, looked down to the below

I listened with my heart, I recognized her notes

A melody was blazing, so ravenous and new

Like a thousand voices calling

Ten thousand words flowed into…

I’ve got this thirst I cannot fill

I’ve got this hunger I can’t kill

I’ve been out searching, I still have not found

An answer I’m waiting on

So don’t be long

Don’t be long

I saw a woman smile, her message to me sent

I sold all my possessions to find out what she meant

Her mouth is always moving, silently echoing a hymn

She’s standing on the sun, boy

She’s asking me to swim

Don’t be long

With a drop on my tongue

Don’t be long

When my tongue is growing dusty and my mouth completely parched

The zealot sun relentless in the desert of my heart

I ask my lady for a storm cloud, pregnant with relief

When she begins to rain on me, I’ll begin to drink
