Future Islands On the Water song lyrics

There are the moments that we save

And the dreams that fade away

And sometimes they come together

And we can walk through the room we made, in the winter

On a bed, made of feather

When our hands held the answers

To life and love and nothing

To life and love, and some things

You just can't pull away

I waited for an answer

You turned towards me, leaving

Body of mine

Body of Christ

The tongue is left to dine

And takes its precious time

Your body alive

My body on fire

Give me the chance to burn

One last time

Watching from the shore

A house caught in storm breathes for the morning

And calls us, without warning and pleads

To the light in your eyes

Never stop your lanterns burning

I shield you like a candle

Body of mine

Body of Christ

Can I be the one who saves your life?

Your body alive

My body on fire

Can I be the one you hold tonight?

Can I be the one?

Can I be the one you hold tonight?
