Long time ago
You left a track of flame
Across my floor
Long time ago
The form of God was knocking
At our door

And in the sky
Fire
Eleanor, It's raining now
We walked a thin wire
And Eleanor, it's raining. . .

Long time ago
We wrapped another ring
Around the moon
Long time ago
We named the world and
Watched it break in two

And in the sky. . .

In the folds of the dress
On the chair
I can see your face
I am the cross and the nail you bear
You are my curse and my Saving grace

Long time ago
God whispered words and names
We can't recall
Long time ago
We hid our shame outside
The Garden wall

And in the sky. . .
And it's a cruel winter
Eleanor, it's raining now
On the last sinner
Eleanor, it's raining now
