Open Arms Lyrics

open arms

i was starved

white desert ground

i was dry

a hungry child



i lived my life dotted 'i's

knotted fingers toed the line



i lived my life dotted 'i's

these knotted fingers toed the line

then your open arms, your open arms, your open arms



i've been crying all of my life i guess

and all my smiles were just cringing and tired

now your sleeves are drying my eyes

i find these bleary sights are cuff polished and bright



i've been crying all of my life

but here entwined in sinew and fire
