[Verse 1]
Take a cupful from your hand
Wait for forty days
Make a river through the sand
'Til you're called by a secret name
[Refrain]
And the weight of the water has brought me back to this
[Verse 2]
Just leave me to the river
Let it cleanse my face
I have no power to ward it
Like the baptism of the earth
[Refrain]
And the weight of the water has brought me back to this
[Outro]
And the step where you stood
As I bleed from the wound
How I cower to that weight
Still I’ll make this water home
