Lilies lyrics

Again tonight I sang a song, a prayer if you will

Fell to the floor on blackened knees, and all the trees fell still

Pressed my hands between my thighs, and poured the thistle milk

Begged the thunderbolts to strike and mark me as alive

Oh the lilies on the hill

Oh the lilies on the hill

Oh the lilies on the hill

Scented the light

And so I finished up my prayer, rose slowly and I stared

But I was empty as a grave and ghostless was the air

Lay back to bed and dulled my eyes and searched those fruitless skies

Again begged the thunderbolt to strike to mark me or else I would die

Oh, the lilies on the hill

Oh, the lilies on the hill

Oh, the lilies on the hill

Scented the night

And in the seconds before sleep

And in the second before sleep

Did I believe what I did see?

Did I believe what came to me?

Appeared the figure of a man

Waving upon the hill

To the window I ran

And saw what he had sent

Children of a private world

To be conceived in milk

A hundred marching to my door

All bringing dreams to drink

Thank God I'm alive!

Thank God I'm alive!

Oh, the lilies on the hill

Oh, the lilies on the hill

Oh, the lilies on the hill

Scented the night
