Doti 09 - AMEN OMEN
(Ben Harper)
Diamonds On The Inside, 2003

What started as a whisper
Slowly turned into a scream
Searching for an answer
Where the question is unseen
I don't know where you came from
And I don't know where you've gone
Old friends become old strangers
Between the darkness and the dawn

Amen Omen
Will I see your face again
Amen Omen
Can I find the place within
To live my life without you

I still hear you saying
All of life is a chance
And is sweetest
Is sweetest
When at a glance
But I live
I live a hundred
Hundred lifetimes in a day
But I die a little
In every breath that I take

Amen Omen
Will I see your face again
Amen Omen
Can I find the place within
To live my life without you

I listen to a whisper
Slowly drift away
Silence is the loudest
Parting word you never say
I put - I put your world
Into my veins
Now a voiceless sympathy
Is all that remains

Amen Omen
Will I see your face again
Amen Omen
Can I find the place within
To live my life without you

Amen Omen
Will I see your face again
Amen Omen
Will I see your face again
Amen Omen
Can I find the place
To live my life
Omen
Amen
Omen
Omen
Amen
Oh- Oh- Oh...
Omen
Amen
Your face again
