lyrics

I've been waiting at the garden gate
Oh my love for you to be made
I've been sketching faces in the sand
by the Tigris river with my hand

I've been forming figurines of clay
Trying to imagine what God will make
Still I'm searching for your eyes, your shape
and I haven't discovered you

I heard God say, "It's not good for me to be alone"
But he said it "So many days ago"

My Father, do you remember?
The words that you said?
Sleeping underneath the tree of life I lay
Flower underneath my head
And no woman in my bed
And no woman in my bed

Mountain, Rocks, Trees and Stones can't compare
To your shining eyes and ever flowing hair
Paradise ain't paradise if you're not there
I want you near me, this wonder to share

I heard God say, "It's not good for me to be alone"
But he said it "So many days ago"

My Father, do you remember?
The words that you said?
Sleeping underneath the tree of life I lay
Flower underneath my head
And no woman in my bed
And no woman in my bed

You said "It's not good for man to be alone
It's not good for me"
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
Why don't you create her for me?
My God what is the delay?
