lyrics

I’m losing my breath in the force of the wind
and the rain beats your cheeks in the flood of my words
I give you my honest heart bled out and suddenly
you are the one that I love
I wish that I had all the perseverance
to stay by your side till the end of all time
but I’m marred by the curse of our fathers
so I’ll love you enough from afar

Water over every rock
Water over every crack in my skin
I can’t wake up to another shimmering tree
without giving my thanks

I don’t want to crush all hope in you heart
like the beautiful houses on warm summer shores
My torrent of truth pouring forth from my lips
your drowned in the rush of a river so deep
and your skin is so blue like a sapphire sky
I’m vowed to a world far brighter that burns in my mind

My life is a canvas spread out to a world
to paint what they please
to make me their dream
I can’t wake from my sleep
Can’t take what I see
in the pitch-est of night
in the loneliest hour
a warm glow of love
