Analysis of Crucify me
Dear God you catch me on a lullaby
And it is as if I had died
On a cloud and
crucified
My God you feed me with masteries
And it is as if I lost my mind
On a dream and
Mistified
Lord God you love me in sweet glory
And it is as if I had sighed
And into the mist
my goodbyes
Sweet God you hold me in heavens harmony
And it is as if my thoughts are covered
In oyster shells
