In the folds of the dress On the chair I can see your face I am the cross and the nail you bear You are my curse and my Saving grace Long time ago God whispered words and names We can't recall Long time ago We hid our shame outside The Garden wall And in the sky. . . And it's a cruel winter Eleanor, it's raining now On the last sinner Eleanor, it's raining now
