Tanya Donelly - Manna lyrics

Look inside this milky whiteness

No power of the hand to dry

I'm swimming in it I'm swimming out to you

For reasonsmy reasons

So photograph it the milky way

It spills into the hand and dries

I am here now and I'm staying put

For reasonsmy reasons

And so to bed to bed

My soul to share

An island of the brave my soul to save

In hopes that god's awake my soul to take

I'm swimming in it I'm swimming out to you

For reasons to be home

So photograph me in milky white dreams

Spill into my head

And when I hold you like to tomorrow you might die

Well that's because you might

But I am here now

And I am staying put for reasons my heart knows
