All I Need Is Everything (chamber music mix) 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
