The Dancer - PJ Harvey
He came riding fast
Like a phoenix out of fire flames
He came dressed in black
With a cross bearing my name
He came bathed in light
And the splendor and glory
I can＇t believe
What the lord has finally sent me
He said dance for me
Fanciulla gentil
He said laugh a while
I can make your heart feel
He said fly with me
Touch the face of the true god
And then cry with joy
At the depth of my love
Cause i＇ve prayed days
I＇ve prayed nights
For the lord just to send me
Home some sign
I＇ve looked long
I＇ve looked far
To bring peace to my black
And empty heart
My love will stay till
The river bed run dry
And my love lasts long
As the sunshine blue sky
I love him longer
As each damn day goes
The man is gone
And heaven only knows
Cause i＇ve cried days
I＇ve cried nights
For the lord just to send me up some sign
Is he near is he far
Bring peace to my black
And empty heart
So long day so long night
Good lord be near me tonight
Is he near is he far
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
