I Know That Loving

(album: Simple Pleasure - 1999)

She sinks inside me
It's so beautiful
Not hear her calling
And I would raise myself
To live up to her love
And not look down on me
Forgiving me again
And I hear her calling
Do you wanna get out of the water
Do you wanna try and carry on
It gets so low
I get so low

She sinks inside me
It's so beautiful
Not hear her calling
But it's like a waterfall
Falling down on me
Forgiving me again
And I know that loving

[Chorus:]
Like feet that have never been walked on
I know that
Hands that never held no blame
Can't you see that I guess you're staying
Eyes that have never cried angry tears
It's always the same
A face that never felt that shame
Well that's my heart
It's calling out your name

She sinks inside me
There like chemicals
I see the birds fly
And I'd disgust myself
To be free of that love
Pull myself from under the weight of it all
And I hear her, hear her

[Chorus]

I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up

It's just that quality of forgiveness
Forgiveness is what I need
If I could only get out of the water
If I could only get myself clean
I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up

Like feet that have never been walked on
I know that
Hands that never held no blame
I'm running on my knees again
Eyes that have never cried angry tears
It's always the same
A face that never felt that shame

She's standing at the altar
Like feet never walked on
I know that she's waiting there
Like hands never held no blame
If I could only get out of the water
No crying angry
If I could only get out of here
But I've gotta give it up
That felt no shame
I've got to give it up

[Chorus ad lib]
