Take me back to the mountain, across the midnight sea I want to sit at Your feet Take me back to the river that runs through burning sand I want to go hand in hand I danced a wicked notion and it echos in the back of my mind (x2) I danced all day with the wife of the very jealous kind I danced all night with a harlot who had no sense of time I danced till dawn along the back roads, under a dark, threatening sky
So take me back to the mountain, across the midnight sea I want to sit at Your feet Take me back to the river that runs through burning sand I want to go hand in hand I'll cover my face I'll fall on my knees 'Cause I need Your love like I need the air I breathe
I walked out into the open felt the rain falling on my face I left the golden mansion for a dark, dirty place I gave my cross of silver for something new to taste I felt the rain fall even harder just like bullets of disgrace
I need Your love that ripples through my soul I need Your love that gives life to my own I need Your love that keeps no record of wrong No record of wrongs
