lyrics

David rested with his father
In the city of David
And Solomon was filled with wisdom
Adonijah was filled with hatred
But Adonijah begged for mercy
And Solomon gave it to him
Until Adonijah begged for Abishag
And the son of David slew him

And I have loved a woman
And I have loved a man
But the love I have for you dear
I just can’t understand
Cos there’s this pain curled up inside me
With the dreams and fears and seeds
Of the world we’ve heard is coming along
In the hearts that weep and bleed

But there are holes inside my mouth now
Where once there had been teeth
Sometimes there’s just not enough room
For all that god has given me
So I am swimming all alone now
I am swimming out to sea
And you can think of me, soft and slow
When you are moving on the deep

The king spoke to his people
So that promises would be fulfilled
A temple to the Lord was made
It took seven years to build
