lyrics

i come for you my sword on high
i try for love oh how i try
i dream at night of frozen lakes
i give my lonely giver’s ache

oh slowly i take a moment to be
lonely, then i run from there like a believer
in something i can never hold
oh take me, sweetness, back into your fold

and then a little later on,
with lonely feelings growing strong
and all that could ever be
weighing down so heavily

time takes me a little further down the
road to where i learn to breathe a little
slower i take a little more than i can give
so i can hold onto the things

i need to live for freedom’s call
not wage this lonely bitter war
i walk alone in thorny hills
i lie awake on window sills

burn now to the embers in my core
i feel like i am closer than i’ve been
before but as i grasp at it it slips
away and so i stumble off into the day

light where the feelings grow
the light inside so soft and slow
i dream a lonely dreamer’s song
and reassured i stumble on
