Someone Above Me Tonight Lyrics

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
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 laid down
The colour of your sky blue eyes

So am I just lonely
Or was this some holly 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 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
I surrender, oh Lord
