i made a god of marble
and set him in the sky
he is hard but also gentle
he's a solid kind of guy
he is watching out for danger
he is shepherding his flock
he is running out of answers
he is running out the clock
(chorus)
god of flesh and god of stone
god of miracles and bones
he is skating on the ice
he has fallen through it twice
and now he's left us all alone
come back to us, hard jesus
come back and stay awhile
we will walk into the garden
before your love hardens
and you leave us here alone
i made a god of vapors
out of clouds that float on by
when it rains i hear him falling
when it rains i start to cry
it is time god took a lover
a goddess of the ancient sea
in their hearts sweet music playing
in their hearts sweet melodies
(chorus)
god of flesh and god of stone
god of miracles and bones
he is skating on the ice
he has fallen through it twice
and now he's left us all alone
come back to us, hard jesus
come back and stay awhile
we will walk into the garden
before your love hardens
and you leave us here alone
whisper secrets to the marble
so cold and still and hard
whisper secrets to my darling
while we tiptoe past the guards
we are taking jesus out of prison
we are letting god go free
we are laughing at the storms
and the shattering of forms
in the garden by the sea
(chorus)
god of flesh and god of stone
god of miracles and bones
he is skating on the ice
he has fallen through it twice
and now he's left us all alone
come back to us, hard jesus
come back and stay awhile
we will walk into the garden
before your love hardens
and you leave us here alone
i made a god of marble
and set him in the sky
he is hard but also gentle
he's a solid kind of guy
he is watching out for danger
he is shepherding his flock
he is running out of answers
he is running out the clock
