Hollies - When The Ship Comes In lyrics

Fingernails, that pierce your tender flesh

And a silent scream of your new faith profess

I am a piece of eternal satisfaction

I am the serpent wrapped around your feet

Deep inside your burning

Virgin Ear

Oh to stop the yearning, now

Crystal Clear

Blind and staked you to a belly crawl

And set to take, embrace your final fall

I am the guide to the new temptation, fallout

I am a breath of polluted air you breath

[Chorus]

Deep inside your burning

Virgin Ear

Oh to stop the yearning, now

Deep inside you're learning

To face your fear

Floating, moaning, turning

Crystal Clear

Innocence has fallen

At the feet of the need

Lust has taken over

Watch it feed

Blessed into temptation

In the beholder's eye

Offered on the altar

On high

Are you here for the calling

Are you here to abide

Have you come from the falling

Deep inside

[Chorus]
