I like your body stretched out next to me
Nobody sleeping, nobody hiding
I keep your worry down here beside me
I hold your restless here in my chest
Lay me down on this bed of riverland
Take me how you do
Your eyes shimmer sky
Your face awash in blue
I like your body in all of its glory
In all of its beauty, baby, have mercy
I’ve got your gospel shivering through me
I know you know me truer than true
Shoulders are opening, poetry sloping
Rock me and roll me through waters so holy
I see new country shining before me
A land that was promised, a promise made good
So good
