T-Bone Burnett: "Relentless" Lyrics

i stand and tremble in the driving rain

 while your love rages like a hurricane

 

 i can't break the silence as you still the wind

 but i can hear you breathing underneath my skin

 

      i am relentless   almost senseless   you are relentless

 

 i reel and stagger in the blinding light

 while your love flashes like a lightening strike

 

 so i find the darkness where i grow afraid   

 but i cannot shake you and the blackness fades

 

      i am relentless   almost senseless   you are relentless

   

      you are relentless

           this mercy convulses my pride

      you are relentless

           i find you wherever i hide

      you are relentless

           i have got nothing to win

           and so i give in

 

 i run and stumble as the mountains shake

 while your love blazes like a world in flames

 

 to shoot all fear into the desert sky

 as stars fall like water through the dead of night

 

      i am relentless   almost senseless   you are relentless
