Tanya Donelly

Manna

Look inside this milky whiteness

No power of the hand to dry

I'm swimming in it, I'm swimming out to you

For reasons, my reasons

So photograph it, the milky way

It spills into the hand and dries

'Cause I am here now and I'm staying put

For reasons, my reasons

And so to bed to bed

My soul to share

An island of the brave, my soul to save

In hopes that God's awake, my soul to take

I'm swimming in it, I'm swimming out to you

For reasons to be home

So photograph me in milky white dreams

Spill into my head

And when I hold you like tomorrow you might die

Well, that's because you might

But I am here now

And I am staying put for reasons my heart knows

And so to bed to bed

My soul to share

An island of the brave, my soul to save

In hopes that God's awake, my soul to take

And so to bed to bed

My soul to share

An island of the brave, my soul to save
