Holy Water by Tiny Little Houses Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell me how you walked upon the water
While you lay beneath the stars at night
Believed in something that
I have faith in truth when you would
Run your fingers on my face
And I was happier than I have ever been before
Or since inside that sacred place
But then I moved the following year
After Easter, to the big cold city
Smoking on the sand and cigarettes would make
Their mark upon my skin
And how I looked for answers inside books and sеarched the earth
To know I’m cursеd to lay with horns until I’m raised again
[Pre-Chorus]
And I believed in You
And I believed in truth
[Chorus]
Tell me why your spirit flew
Why did you forsake me?
What do you need to save me?
[Verse 2]
The brightest things since paradise
And I can’t help but feel so nice and warm
Despite my fear I’ll never seen the face of God or Jesus
Christ, I woke alone these streets
With my shirt wrinkled, worn across my face
To hide the horns I’ve grown that turned me
Ever further from His grace
I wish He’d save me
Wish He’d fly above this sick, revolting state
With shining wings
Descend in from above and take me far away
To TV dinners, morning cartoons, singing in Sunday schools
Where I was innocent and we were floating, everlasting, holy fools
[Pre-Chorus]
Fools
But I’ll be going soon
[Chorus]
Tell me why I had to lose
Why did you forsake me?
What do you need to save me?
[Outro]
Could walk on water
There was a time I still felt alive
There was a time I could walk on water
There was a time I still felt alive
There was a time I could walk on water
The holy water
The holy water
Tell me how you walked upon the water
While you lay beneath the stars at night
Believed in something that
I have faith in truth when you would
Run your fingers on my face
And I was happier than I have ever been before
Or since inside that sacred place
But then I moved the following year
After Easter, to the big cold city
Smoking on the sand and cigarettes would make
Their mark upon my skin
And how I looked for answers inside books and sеarched the earth
To know I’m cursеd to lay with horns until I’m raised again
[Pre-Chorus]
And I believed in You
And I believed in truth
[Chorus]
Tell me why your spirit flew
Why did you forsake me?
What do you need to save me?
[Verse 2]
The brightest things since paradise
And I can’t help but feel so nice and warm
Despite my fear I’ll never seen the face of God or Jesus
Christ, I woke alone these streets
With my shirt wrinkled, worn across my face
To hide the horns I’ve grown that turned me
Ever further from His grace
I wish He’d save me
Wish He’d fly above this sick, revolting state
With shining wings
Descend in from above and take me far away
To TV dinners, morning cartoons, singing in Sunday schools
Where I was innocent and we were floating, everlasting, holy fools
[Pre-Chorus]
Fools
But I’ll be going soon
[Chorus]
Tell me why I had to lose
Why did you forsake me?
What do you need to save me?
[Outro]
Could walk on water
There was a time I still felt alive
There was a time I could walk on water
There was a time I still felt alive
There was a time I could walk on water
The holy water
The holy water
