O God My Heart Is Ready

Chris Whitley


God my heart is ready now 
God my heart is ready now 
I been awake so long 
December draggin on 
God my heart is ready now 
And with the ease she came 
Epiphany bleeds like rain 
A season of seed come again 
All roads lead back on into town 
Our graves shall lace the hollow ground 
And when she call I come 
And when she bleed I belong 
Gone to seed 
Summer long 
Yellow gold shining from the mud 
Long ago bullet in my bread 
God my heart is ready now 
Now hold me while I'm naked 
Catharsis between your knees 
I'll serve the bearing trees 
God my heart is ready now 
God my heart is ready now 
Now that I killed my gods below 
Whatever I thought I used to know 
The breath of flowers beneath the snow 
'neath the snow 
'neath the snow 
Let it go
