Lyrics Over the Rhine

Over the Rhine

All I Need Is Everything

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

All I need is everything

Inside, outside, feel new skin

All I need is everything

Feel the slip and the grip of grace again

So from now till kingdom come

Taste the words on the tip of my tongue

'Cause we can't run truth out of town

Only force it underground

The roots grow deeper

In ways we can't conceive

All I need is everything

Inside, outside feel new skin

All I need is everything

Feel the slip and the grip of grace again

All I need is, all I need

All I need, all I need is

All I need is, all need

All I need, all I need is

All I need
