Cactus

When you crawled out of the fire Did you feel like you were born again Did it wash away your sins Like some poor man’s baptism And when you dove into the darkness With Andromeda at your back Did you search for another savior One who wouldn’t recognize you in your new skin Shame on me, shame on me And all that I do, all that do If I could melt all of your snow If I could bring this desert to you Would you walk with me where the cactus blooms When you lost all of your chances And you washed back up on shore With all your failures drowned behind you And all your restlessness and all your apathy long gone Shame on me, shame on me And all that I do, all that do If I could melt all of your snow And shake the scorpions out of your shoes Would you walk with me where the cactus blooms
