lyrics

I sit and wait while the lights come on,
How come I've never thought of doing this before?

In your alms, in your alms.

A cushion here, a drink of water there,
Complete freedom but with complete love and care.
But what do these feelings mean,
If the world's still angled by the same degrees?

In your alms, in your alms.

(You get a little closer to it, sitting on the dining room chair,
You get a little nearer to it, plucking jewels right out of thin air.
You get a little closer to it, lying on the living room floor,
You get a little nearer to it, what he wants is what you want.
You gotta get it out there somehow,
It's bigger than the bedroom walls,
It's gotta bring some hope where there was none.)
