Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holding hands while straying from the path in the forest dark
Aren't you happy to see me crawl serpentine towards the sun to you
Lift the lid of your heart's casket in the arms of rain
We'll drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby it's the hail Marys for the secrets you've kept from me
Hail Marys for tomorrow's dream
Again, I fought myself and lost
Come bite the apple and I'll coil around your heart
I'm so happy to see you weep along
In these arms you belong
Lift the lid of your heart's casket in the arms of rain
We'll drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby it's the hail Marys for the secrets you've kept from me
Hail Marys for tomorrow's dream
In the arms of rain we are free
Ave Maria we've tried
Ave Maria we've cried
Ave Maria we've died
Lift the lid of your heart's casket in the arms of rain
We'll drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby it's the hail Marys for the secrets you've kept from me
Hail Marys for tomorrow's dream
In the arms of rain we are free
Lift the lid of your heart's casket in the arms of rain
We'll drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby it's the hail Marys for the secrets you've kept from me
Hail Marys for tomorrow's dream
In the arms of rain we are free
It's the end of a road, hold me
It's the end of a road and we're free
