Light As The Breeze - Lyrics by Billy Joel


Lyrics
She stands before you nakedyou can see ityou can taste itbut she comes to you light as the breeze
You can drink or you can nurse itit don't matter how you worshipas long as you'redown on your knees
So I knelt there at the deltaat the alpha and the omegaat the cradle of the riverand the seas
And like a blessing come from heavenfor something like a second
I was helaedand my heartwas at ease
Oh baby I waitedso long for your kissfor something to happenoh -- something like this
And you're weak and you're harmlessand you're sleeping in your harnessand the wind is going wildin the trees
And it's not exactly prisonbut you'll never be forgivenfor whatever you've donewith the keys
Oh baby I waitedso long for your kissfor something to happenoh -- something like this
It's dark and it's snowing
Oh my love I must be going
The river is starting to freeze
And I'm sick of pretending
I'm broken from bending
I've lived too longon my knees
And she dances so gracefuland your heart's hard and hatefuland she nakedbut that's just the case
And you turn in disgustfrom your hatred and from your loveand she comes to youlight as the breeze
Oh baby I waitedso long for your kissfor something to happenoh -- something like this
There's blood on every braceletyou can see ityou can taste itand it's please babyplease baby please
And she's saysdrink deeplypilgrimbut don't forget there's still a womanbeneath thisresplendent chemise
So I knelt there at the deltaat the alphaat the omega
I knelt therelike one who believes
And like a blessing come from heavenfor something like a second
I was curedand my heartwas at ease
Oh baby I waitedso long for your kissfor something to happenoh -- something like this
