Song without Words

Well, it has words now. But it's a song that I've been carrying around without words for a long time.

either I saw a flash of light

across your eyes into the night

or everything you ever said was true

the comfort of your crooked home

its magic draw and silent hopes

because I needed you

I have been the world around

to map the contours of its ground

but earth itself has no escaping you

I've watched you slip right through the hands

of God's own sealed and foolproof plans

and passed it off as the loving thing to do

when I needed you

from the bottom of this canyon rock

swept free of pride and past the shock

it's telling when there's nothing left to lose

that I stand here as my final act

with life, and sense, and soul intact to say

I'm leaving you

voices 2&3:
you'll have to go it solo

those hearts can't make it through

you've always had it, so go

don't look behind of you

one step follows the other

new place, new life, new home

and when it all comes crashing

you'll face those fears alone

voice 4:
to the rescue

neck deep in water when I found you

to the rescue

just let it go and come to me

voice 1:
when the scenery came down

I found myself on solid ground
