PJ Harvey | The Dancer
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name.
He came bathed in light and splendor and glory.
I can't believe what the Lord has finally sent me.
He
said dance for me fanciulla gentile.
He said laugh awhile, I can make your heart feel.
He said fly with me, touch the face of the true God
and then cry with the joy at the depth of my love.
'Cause
I've prayed days, I've prayed nights
for the lord just to send me home some sign.
I've looked long, I've looked far
to bring peace to my black and empty heart.
My
love will stay 'til the river bed run dry.
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky.
I love him longer as each damn day goes.
The man is gone and heaven only knows.
'Cause
I've cried days, I've cried nights
for the lord just to send me home some sign.
Is he near? Is he far?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart.
So
long day, so long night.
Oh Lord, be near me tonight.
Is he near? Is he far?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart.
