lyrics

If I was a man of the cloth
I would bless every puddle and drop I saw
When the cloud's did form
And the rains begin
Only holy water would
Fall on your skin

And you left town
Like you were coming up for air
Put some sunshine on your face
And let the breeze comb your hair
And you didn't want to prune
In the bath water of home
Headed off toward the ocean where you thought
You might like to roam

If I, if I gave in to you,
Would you have fallen for me
You're on a blanket of blue
In the arms of the sea
Nothing will ever happen, nothing will ever change
If you keep all your love in the hands of fate
And you slipped from my grip like fists full of sand
Like time in a glass falling between my hands

If I was a holy man,
I'd forgive myself for my silent sins,
For my slothful words,
And all those smiles I stole from you
Call this my confession love,
Forgive me too

Heard he put a ring on that finger,
Pulled a promise from those lips,
Took a weight off of your heart,
And put a little swagger in those hips,
And the ones wearing your name
Only remind me of you,
It is the cowards and the gluttons
Who play love's fools

If I, if I gave in to you,
Would you have fallen for me
You're on a blanket of blue
In the arms of the sea
Nothing will ever happen, nothing will ever change
If you keep all your love in the hands of fate
And you slipped from my grip like fists full of sand
Like time in a glass falling between my hands

I hope that you
Know what you do to me
When I call your name
I swear I couldn't see
