Baptized

Hold your own

And pray that the red light running

Past doesn't stop at your window

(Red light)

I've spent so long wishing

I've spent so long waiting

It's been too many winters in this cold town

And this city's slowly bringing me down

I've been sleeping on my own a long time

How'd I get up?

Been lost under the Cape Town sky

Searching for provenance

In a place that I'll never find

Patiently wandering

I've smoothed round the edges

The water doesn't call me anymore

And it's been months since I heard from the shore

Baptized

Hold your own

And pray that the red light running

Past doesn't stop at your window

I've spent so long wishing

I've spent so long waiting

I've spent so long wishing

I've spent so long waiting

I've spent so long wishing

I've spent so long waiting

I've spent so long wishing

I've spent so long waiting

I've spent so long wishing

(I've been caught up in your shining light)

I've spent so long waiting

(I've been left holding onto a time that the tide long capsized)

I've spent so long wishing

(I've been caught up in your shining light)

I've spent so long waiting

You've gotta hold your own

Hold

Baptized

Hold your own

And pray that the red light running

Past doesn't stop at your window

Baptized

Hold your own

And pray that the red light running

Past doesn't stop at your window

Baptized

Hold your own

And pray that the red light running

Past doesn't stop at your window

(Red light)

I've spent so long wishing

I've spent so long waiting

It's been too many winters in this cold town

And this city's slowly bringing me down
