Gm
Who needs the sun,
when the rain's so full of life
                 D#
Who needs the sky
Gm                                   D#
It's here in your arms I want to be buried
            Gm
You are my sanctuary

Who needs the sun,
when the rain's so full of life?
Who needs the sky?
It's here in your arms; I want to be buried
You are my sanctuary

Who needs a smile,
when a tear's so full of love
Who needs a home, with the stars up above
It's here in your heart I want to be carried
You are my sanctuary

Who needs the light,
with the darkness in your eyes
Who needs to sleep, with the stars in the sky
It's here in your soul I want to be married
You are my sanctuary

And the earth was void and empty
And darkness was upon the face of the earth

Is all of this pain so necessary
You are my sanctuary

Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice
Him or her I shall follow
As the water follows the moon, silently

Who needs the sun? (With fluid steps)
Who needs the sky? (Around the globe)
Who needs to sleep? (I hear your voice)
You are (You are) my sanctuary
You are (You are, you are)
You are (You are) my sanctuary
