John Craigie Cactus Lyrics

When you crawled out of the fire
Did you feel like you were born again
Did it wash away your sins
Like some poor man's baptism

And when you dove into the darkness
With Andromeda at your back
Did you search for another savior
One who wouldn't recognize you in your new skin

Shame on me, shame on me
And all that I do, all that do
If I could melt all of your snow
If I could bring this desert to you
Would you walk with me where the cactus blooms

When you lost all of your chances
And you washed back up on shore
With all your failures drowned behind you
And all your restlessness and all your apathy long gone

Shame on me, shame on me
And all that I do, all that do
If I could melt all of your snow
And shake the scorpions out of your shoes
Would you walk with me where the cactus blooms
