Everything

And when I hear you breathe
And I feel you even in my own bed
And sleep overtakes you
And the rain tries to save me
 
The devil peeks over
And I wonder if he takes what I have
Oh you've put a spell on me
And this dance becomes a prayer of sorts
 
I will never betray you
Even if wheat drowned in the fields
This man will stay with you
Even if I have nothing
 
But even when my hands struggle to hold on to you
Thank you, Father, you're here to stay, I hear you tell me
With that voice, Angel, I've won everything
 
Winning alone is nothing
The banks can take all that I have
But if they even tried to touch you
Lord, they'll find quickly no law would stop me
 
I will never betray you
Even if wheat drowned in the fields
This man will stay with you
Even if I have nothing
 
But even when my hands struggle to hold on to you
Thank you, Father, you're here to stay, I hear you tell me
With that voice, Angel, I've won everything
 
I'd give you my liver, I'll give you my entire life
Because you are the reason, you are the reason that I know
All my prayers, they're all heard
And over and over and over and...
 
I will never betray you
Even if wheat drowned in the fields
This man will stay with you
Even if I have nothing
 
But even when my hands struggle to hold on to you
Thank you, Father, you're here to stay, I hear you tell me
With that voice, Angel, I've won everything
But even when my hands struggle to hold on to you
Thank you, Father, you're here to stay, I hear you tell me
With that voice, Angel, I've won everything
