lyrics

Ask for salt and I'll bring you the ocean
Ask for water, and I'll give you wine
Ask for freedom, I'll build you an airship
Ask for love, and I'll give you mine
Ask for death, and I swear it be swift
Ask for life, and a fountain I'll find
Ask for lanterns to brighten your cities
And I will bring lights that astonish the blind

Why can't I find you
where have you gone?
This prison is maddening
I've been here too long
I'd dig my way out just to see you

Teach me your anthems, sing me your love songs
Give me your body your eyes and your mind
Release your wants and your cravings to me
And I will not ravish, nor steal clandestine
Sell me your voice, lease me your teachings
Break me with passion and kill me with heat
Heal me with will and the strength of your mind
And you will have won me, make me complete

Why can't I find you
where have you gone?
This prison is maddening
I've been here too long
I'd dig my way out just to see you

Ask for salt and I'll bring you the ocean
Ask for water, and I'll give you wine
Ask for freedom, I'll build you an airship
Ask for love, and I'll give you mine
