Someone Above Me Tonight

歌词

It’s three in the morning, the barman is leaving

Someone I met while drinking this evening

I gave him my number in ink on a coaster

He was solemn and ugly, he’d served as a soldier

I asked if he’d seen anyone close to him die

He said his best friend had been shot in the chest but survived

He said that he prayed as he knelt by his side

And god must have listened and spared him his life

He asked if I prayed and I told him I tried

But I got the answer machine

Half of me joking, half of me hoping, everything he said was right

One way or another, a god or a lover, I need someone above me tonight

I surrender, oh lord

In my hand there’s a stone I found in the foam

While walking the beaches of Jura alone

Where I swear that I saw you down on the shore

Eyeing the ocean like a commodore

So I ran and I ran and I ran to the spot where you stood

And when you weren’t there

I felt the despair of knowing I’d lost you for good

So I cried and I cried and I fell to the ground

At the height of my misery that’s when I found

One beautiful stone the sea had lay down

The colour of your sky blue eyes

So am I just lonely or was this some holy offer to show me the light

One way or another, a god or a lover, I need someone above me tonight

I surrender, oh lord

I was holding the stone while we made love

Pressing so tightly that I drew blood

And like an offering to the lord above

I let it drip in the bed

Into the perfume and sweat

I surrender, oh lord
