Well now on a summer night,

Come a little piece of

Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon

I went down into the desert city
E
Just tryin' so hard to shed my skin
B
I crawled deep into some
kind of darkness

Lookin' to burn out every
F#sus4
trace of who I'd been

And steal what we can from the treasures,
treasures of the Lord

It's been along long drought baby

Tonight the rain's pourin'
