Where They Perform Miracles

Love was the answer
To the question we should have asked ourselves
Your eyes spoke of danger at the river's edge
Where you walked on the water with your tongue out

Born in Philadelphia but now living in the south
Your hand slipped slowly into mine somehow
But who's gonna argue with a perfect start?
And will you still be there when I'm down and out?

I know a place where they perform miracles

And even if it's just for a moment then
And even if our thoughts get all tied up again
I want to be the one who got to know you when
You gave it all away, you had nothing left

Take my hand again, please don't laugh
Like the daughter says but daddy am I pretty now?
And we were so close, could almost touch the sun
But we burned ourselves out

I know a place where they perform miracles
I know a place where they perform miracles
I know a place where they perform miracles
I know a place where they perform miracles
I know a place where they perform miracles
I know a place where they perform miracles
I know a place where they perform miracles
