Slow Melody

Did I miss the glory
I had smoke in my eye
Standin' by the Dead Sea
Watchin' the ever-shrinking tide
I walk extended jetties
To the ocean below the sea
This holy water’s healin'
It kills all that you believe
And I found the slow melody
In the stars that turn over me
And the scream and steal of the row-away
And the wind
If I found contentment
In the shallows of the sea
If I pay with credit
How could you refuse me
If I found forgiveness
And
Would you take my promise
If I signed in the space
And I found the slow melody
In the voice of a God on the breeze
In the steps of
In the breath of a sky without clouds
Without clouds
