First a call, then a plane
Then a car and a call again
And a house on a hill
And there was no time to kill
Oh my love, she was there
I could see the flowers in her hair
As she sat on the steps
And the look I'll never forget
Oh he's not here
He's long gone
And I don't need saving from anyone
Every room torn apart
When she saw what was in his heart
Saw the snake, what he needs
Saw the blood and the fear he breeds
Through the pull, through the haze
She made a path, she found her way
And though he feels that he's the Word
Not even Acre can outrun the bird
