"You can feed the koi in the pond
G               D                  Em      C
Climb over the church wall in your Sunday dress

Be sure to feed the koi in the pond"

Your penance for the woman you'll become
G               D                   Em   C
You knew if you talked there'd be a consequence

Your sentence for the woman you'll become"

[Bridge]
G          D
Dream of dimensions

Then cross through the veil to them

Wrap yourself in linen holding Je---sus close

Calling Saint

"Climb out of the belly of the beast" she said
   G              D           Em
"Become a witness out of the abyss
    G             D                 Em        C
The temple of the soul will have to heal the flesh
G                D              Em
Only when you're whole can you forgive
           G         D
But it's a long long climb
       Em
It's a long long climb"
