faithless - hem of his garment lyrics

[maxi jazz in background]
...wish he was a man

[dido]
oh i wish i could be
touched by the hem of his garment

[maxi]
and the dream...

[dido]
to be proud there's never been
so mean, so hard, so stern, so cruel
oh i wish i could be
touched by the hem of his garment
mmmmm, oh i've come a long way [5x]
to touch the hem of his garment

and anger should be
the tool of a clown or a fool you'll see
and why should such spite and such pain
hang between you and me
when love should be
a queen on her throne
looking after her own
i wish i could be
touched by the hem of his garment
two chairs at this table
one bed in this house
seriously, i think we could be, feel we could be
touched by the hem of his garment

mmmmm, i've come a long way [5x]
to touch the hem of his garment
