Sixpence None The Richer
"Healer"

Music & Lyrics by : Matt Slocum

amber liquid 
wetting wine cups to the stem, 
spilling drops of bliss and on the earth like little gems 
that myself mistook so foolishly 
as I stopped to steal a drink 
of the liquid in the melting 
in my eyes in my hands and on my lips, 
and on my lips 

earthy blankets 
full of golden lint and thread 
I see the children play as I am on my way again 
to another place 
I'm sorry to say that we 
blurred the picket fence 
still the children play 
they wrap themselves in the middle to sip sunlight 
and drink innocence, 
they drink innocence 

Chorus 
hey today 
beauty is my healer 
hey today 
I'm gonna steal her 

amber liquid 
wetting wine cups to the stem, 
spilling drops of bliss and on the earth like little gems 
that myself mistook so foolishly 
as I stopped to steal a drink 
of the liquid in the melting 
in my eyes in my hands and on my lips, 
and on my lips 

Chorus

earthy blankets 
full of golden lint and thread 
I see the children play as I am on my way again 
to another place 
I'm sorry to say that we 
blurred the picket fence 
still the children play 
they wrap themselves in the middle to sip sunlight 
and drink innocence, 
they drink innocence
