I Know That Loving

She sings inside me

It's so beautiful

And I'd hear her calling

And I would raise myself

To live up to her love

And not look down on me

Forgiving me again

And I hear her calling

Do you wanna get out of the water?

Do you wanna try and carry on?

I get so alone

I get so alone

She sings inside me

It's so beautiful

And I'd hear her calling

But it's like a waterfall

Falling down on me

Forgiving me again

And I know that loving

[Chorus]

Like feet that have never been walked on

I know that

Hands that never held no blame

Can't you see that I guess you'll stay

Eyes that have never cried angry tears

It's always the same

A face that never felt that shame

Well, that's my heart

It's calling out your name

These things inside me

They're like chemicals

I see the birds fly

And I'd disgust myself

To be free of that love

Pull myself from under the weight of it all

And I hear her, hear her

[Chorus]

Like feet that have never been walked on

I know that

Hands that never held no blame

Can't you see that I guess you'll stay

Eyes that have never cried angry tears

It's always the same

A face that never felt that shame

And I've got to give it up

I've got to give it up

It's just that quality of forgiveness

Forgiveness is what I need

If I could only get out of the water

If I could only get myself clean

And I've got to give it up

I've got to give it up

Like feet that have never been walked on

I know that

Hands that never held no blame

I'm running on my knees for you

Eyes that have never cried angry tears

It's always the same

A face that never felt that shame

She's standing at the altar

Like feet never walked on

I know that she's waiting there

Like hands never held no blame

If I could only get out of the water

You're crying, crying

If I could only get out of here

But I've gotta give it up

That felt no shame

I've got to give it up

[Chorus]

Like feet that have never been walked on

I know that, I know that

Hands that never held no blame

Can't you see that I'm running scared

Eyes that have never cried angry tears

I'm running, running

A face that never felt that shame

[Final verse from Across Six Leap Years]

There's a sound that never alters

Like feet never walked on

It's ringing in my ears

Like hands never held no blame

If I could only get out of the water

You're crying, crying

If I could only get out of here
