Saint of Impossible Causes

I need the saint of impossible causes

the saint of no return

the saint of scented candles

that never really burn

I need the saint of laughter

I need the saint of tears

I need the saint detective

who can find my stolen years

I need the saint of needing

I need the saint of loss

the one who gave up wanting

his heart to trash to toss

I need the saint of longing

I need the saint of will

I need the saint of killers

too afraid to kill

I need the saint of music need the saint of love

only they can save me reaching out for you

I need the saint of weapons

that never hurt no one

a struggle towards perfection

to obliterate the sun

I need the saint of drinking

wine and ice-cold beer

is there any saint of thinking

beyond the reach of fear

The saint of our desire

is sitting here with me

he says you ain't no buddha

there ain't no mystic tree

you could sit forever

and never understand

the mind of this creator

moving mountains in your hand

(I know what you're thinking and you're right)

I need the saint of music need the saint of love

only they can save me reaching out for you

I need the saint of music need the saint of love

only they can save me reaching out for you

I need the saint of healing

I need the saint of health

I shot the saint of money

beat up the saint of wealth

the saint of twisted memory

the saint that sets us free

I saw them run together

they look like you and me

For the saint of fallen skies

and the saint of heavy rain

the saint of bored encounters

was making fun of all my pain

you are a tiny man he said

with language from below

a hitcher in the whirlwind

just like the saint of snow

(and then he said...)

I need the saint of music need the saint of love

only they can save me reaching out for you

I need the saint of music need the saint of love

only they can save me reaching out for you

only they can save me reaching out for you

only they can save me reaching out for you
