"Sinner" lyrics

"Sinner"

I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river
I've been on my own, praying like a sinner
And you've been gone too long
I'm waiting out the winter
And I've been on my knees, praying like
Praying like a sinner

Well you built a city right in me
And brick by brick and piece by piece
And love in both your hands
Tried to make an honest man
From when I woke until I went to sleep
You planned my life so carefully
Sculpted me like clay, I can see you in my face
And I never thought I'd live this life without your guiding light

I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river
I've been on my own, praying like a sinner
And you've been gone too long
I'm waiting out the winter
And I've been on my knees, praying like
Praying like a sinner

And I heard the walls are paper-thin
From where you are to where I am
But I don't feel a thing
If you all keep pulling strings
Send on a down a message please
Light a bulb or haunt my dreams
I'd just like to know that you hear me, that you're close
And I never thought I'd live this life without your guiding light

I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river
I've been on my own, praying like a sinner
And you've been gone too long
I'm waiting out the winter
And I've been on my knees, praying like
Praying like a sinner

You've been gone for too long, oh, oh
You've been gone for too long, oh, oh

I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river
I've been on my own, praying like a sinner
And you've been gone too long
I'm waiting out the winter
And I've been on my knees, praying like

I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river
I've been on my own, praying like a sinner
And you've been gone too long
I'm waiting out the winter
And I've been on my knees, praying like
Praying like a sinner

Praying like a sinner

I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river
I've been on my own, praying like a sinner
And you've been gone too long
I'm waiting out the winter
And I've been on my knees, praying like
Praying like a sinner
