lyrics

Source of my peace, spark in my soul
What would I be if you ever go?
Aching. Resplendent. Clear in the light.
Golden. Solitary. Radiant and bright.

It’s funny how images emerge in your mind,
When you’re frozen in moments in space and in time.
The cold ever-after, the grasping for more,
Don’t ever let me go back to before.

Remember the early days when I wasn’t sure
Of what kind of man I was anymore.
But you eased me so gentle, you anchored me down,
You waited so patient, while I came around.

November ocean. The salt and the sand.
Do you remember my trembling hands?
Lay me down gentle, the silence to ease.
Don’t ever let me go back.
Please my darling.

Voice of my reason, love of my life.
Keep me from wandering too far from the light.
You soothed my devils, you let them in too.
You taught us we’ve nothing to fear from you.
