Artist:The Waiting
Album:Blue Belly Sky
Song:Look At Me

Golden bars of sunlight come
sneaking through the shutters
laying stripes on my back
like a zebra
Sweaty fingers turning pages
and clinging to the bed
like it's a bride and
I never want to leave her

Paul calls me a saint and
the mattress shakes with laughter
and the sheets let out a chuckle
while the pillow holds one in
I don't believe a word I read
but the man is so convincing
Says You're calling me a winner
of a game I never win

But with every word I read
I feel Your eyes upon me
and I don't mind at all

I love the way You look at me
the way You steer your eyes to see
the bride beneath the harlot's skin
the virtue underneath the sin
I love the way You look at me
when You lift the veil
and You repeat Your vow

This isn't the whole song, but I didn't want to bore anyone. The band is obviously Christian and the words are very meaningful on a spiritual level. Yet, I thought others might also enjoy them, merely for the poetic imagery and vivid word-pictures they employ. I've just always felt these were an amazing set of lyrics.

And if you think it reads good, it sounds even better.
