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 breath
|
It looks just like a song to me
|
