| Something keeps me awake, something outside is stirring
|
| Through the dark and over the grass
|
| The rabbits and snakes are concurring
|
| They sing in the soil and bones rattle loud
|
| They cry out as this they do see
|
| Someone in those walls is suffering proud
|
| For you are worth every ache within me
|
| I don’t hear music, don’t hear anything
|
| I see dirt, I see cement
|
| What a troubled world it is when you’re outside arms length
|
| It pulls out it’s teeth in dry irreverence
|
| Come and find me on this floor
|
| I am only a half, truth be told
|
| Take away all the distance and say:
|
| «my beloved, I’m here, and now you are whole»
|
| If I turn and see your eyes in the dark
|
| I will know the blue in an instant
|
| Never have they gone so far
|
| Never has your face been distant
|
| My life I will give you like a verse and a ring
|
| I will be your only one
|
| And what you ask of me will be yours until all is said and done
|
| Your heart is a song that I hear Jesus sing
|
| It comes over oceans to me
|
| And the notes spell out messages in vibrant streams
|
| And what’s written you show only me
|
| But if you can’t close up all the gaps tonight
|
| Put me to bed in your way
|
| You see right through everything I am
|
| For you my insides are displayed
|
| Sing me to sleep my beautiful one
|
| I will love only you for all time
|
| Sing me to sleep my only one
|
| With promises that you are all mine
|
| Be still my heart, I hear your back cracking
|
| It sounds like music to me
|
| I see your face and I can hardly breathe
|
| It looks just like a song to me |
