Where are you

Where are you? In the clouds or rain?

All I know is I feel you on my face

The wind tore my cover from me

And now I sit here and wait

Will you shelter my soul from the storm?

Or cast it down the hole in its eye?

I couldn’t help the rose is kept by the thorn

If I fail I’ll rest where you leave me to lie

I saw your face in a spring’s new bloom

The way your eyes gleam when you smile

And the way your voice hung in the room

Still bitters the sweetness of my wine

Holding me accused, kept to stand trial

Will it be a sentence of mirrored faces?

Or will I move along in a new style?

Tell me what it is I need to know

Show me how to see your face

Fall on me like winter snow

And help me feel this place

The room I’m wandering in

And exactly how to find the light

Teach me how to notice it

And when day turns into night

I followed the river but it turned to stone

I called through the valley and it held its tongue

Maybe I was never meant to walk alone

Maybe I was carried all along

The thorn still bleeds but the garden grew

And the storm that broke me left the morning clear

I stopped looking for the answers in the blue

And found them in the quiet standing here

Tell me what it is I need to know

Show me how to see your face

Fall on me like winter snow

And help me feel this place

The room I’m wandering in

And exactly how to find the light

Teach me how to notice it

And when day turns into night

I don’t need the sky to speak my name

I don’t need the rain to tell me why

I just need to know you feel the same

Weight I carry when I close my eyes

Now I know what it is I need to know

I’ve been staring at your face

Falling like the winter snow

I was always in this place

The room I’m wandering in

Was never hidden from the light

You were teaching me to notice it

Each time day turned into night
