A Song for Someone

DSC_0162

Summer I was fearless
Now I speak into an answerphone
Like every fallen leaf on the breeze
Winter wouldn’t leave it alone, alone.

If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so,
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we’re in love with defeat.
Are we ready to be swept off our feet,
And stop chasing every breaking wave?

You’ve got a face not spoiled by beauty
I have some scars from where I’ve been
You’ve got eyes that can see right through me
You’re not afraid of anything they’ve seen

I was told that I would feel
Nothing the first time
I don’t know how these cuts heal
But in you I found a right

If there is a light
You can always see
And there is a world
We can always be
If there is a dark
That we shouldn’t doubt
And there is a light
Don’t let it go out

And I’m a long way
From your hill on Calvary
And I’m a long way
From where I was, where I need to be
