She came down to heal me, I watched her descending   Upon her face she wore a beauty that broke me   And I was afraid to love her   But I just had to tell her, oh      Wait for me, I'll come to you   I'll be the first to promise   I'll be here, come to you   You know the wounds won't heal us      She stepped off the railway, I knew she'd been crying   Our bodies remember the moments of wanting   And she had me running over   And I just had to tell her, oh      Wait for me, I'll come to you   I'll be the first to promise   I'll be here, come to you   You know the wounds won't heal us      There was a longing in my bones, I couldn't help but feel it   There was a way to lift it from my eyes   Now there's a hope, we're tied into one another   And nothing is gonna tear us down      I'll be the first to to promise   You know the wounds won't heal us   I'll be here, come to you   You know the wounds won't heal us      I'll be the first to to promise   I'll be the first to to promise   I'll be the first to to promise   I'll be the first to to promise you
