lyrics

What you wanted
What you wanted
That's what you got
What you needed

What you silently prayed for
What you needed
What you wanted
What you wanted

Somewhere up there in the sky
Gently gliding, sliding away
She got what she needed
What she asked for
What you gave her
You prayed for less
But you gave more

She laid you back onto the backboard
She closed your eyes
Got what you needed
She got what she prayed for
Nothing ever happens

Just when you're not looking
Close your eyes
So, close your eyes
It’s all you can do
Pray again

Baby on your knees
Up the stairs
One by one
With your rosary, Rose-Marie

Clandestine
Meetings of the mind
But you're not smiling
You're not anybody's
You're not anybody's
Go away

Just flow away
Somewhere out there in the sky
I think I saw your image
I think I saw your face
I think I saw you
Fly, swim

And you're drowning
Yes, you’re drowning
But that’s OK
I think I saw your image
‘Cos you can swim
Fly, you can drive away
Somewhere out there in the sky
