Gabriel

Gabriel, is there a place where you are sacred?
Gabriel, is there a place where you can run?
Gabriel, is there a place where you are sacred?
Gabriel, is there a place where you are strong?

I saw the lake, I saw the fire, I saw the sign
I saw something moving out, out of time
And through the voices I heard a single word
Like a scene from the Theatre of the Absurd
I saw you standing outside waiting for a sign
I saw the way that she moved, so sublime
And I knew somehow I would be involved here

Gabriel, you can't wash your hands of this
There's no absolution

I saw you slip, I saw you fall
I will tell no-one at all
Gabriel
I am sworn to secrecy, I will never tell
Your secret is safe with me
