All I Need Is Everything — текст песни (Over The Rhine)

Slow down. Hold still.
It`s not as if it`s a matter of will.
Someone`s circling. Someone`s moving
a little lower than the angels.
And it`s got nothing to do with me.
The wind blows through the trees,
but if I look for it, it won`t come.
I tense up. My mind goes numb.
There`s nothing harder than learning how to receive.

Calm down. Be still.
We`ve got plenty of time to kill.
No hand writing on the wall:
just the voice that`s in us all.
And you`re whispering to me,
time to get up off my hands and knees,
`cause if I beg for it, it won`t come.
I find nothing but table crumbs.
My hands are empty. God I`ve been naive.

All I need is everything.
Inside, outside, feel new skin.
All I need is everything.
Feel the slip and the grip of grace again.

Slow down. Hold still.
It`s not as if it`s a matter of will.
Someone`s circling. Someone`s moving
a little lower than the angels.
This voice calling me to you:
it`s just barely coming through.
Still, I clearly hear my name.
I`ve been fingering the flame
like tomorrow`s martyr.
It gets harder to believe.

All I need is everything.
Inside, outside, feel new skin.
All I need is everything.
Feel the slip and the grip of grace again.

So from now till kingdom come,
taste the words on the tip of my tongue.
`Cause we can`t run truth out of town,
only force it underground.
The roots grow deeper
in ways we can`t conceive.

All I need is everything.
Inside, outside feel new skin.
All I need is everything.
Feel the slip and the grip of grace again.

All I need is all I need.
