Your hair has fallen ’cross your face on the pillow Your sleeping hand clings to your anchor, your lover And I heave to the waves, crying why do you choose me When I see all the saved in your wounded beauty And it doesn’t get me through To try to see it like it is When everybody wants just to be with you forever If you’ll be with me forever I will pull myself together I will try to calm the river I will try to love you better But the terror is in hiding In your stillness so inviting In the heavy, leaden silence Like the ocean we are riding And just when I see it’s beauty Like a wire running through me I am burning from the inside Only tears on the outside
You need to comfort me You need to come to me And prove it to me now That I’m the one
Now I hear you, I don’t see you And it hurts me more to leave you Not to know where you are driving Not to know what’s on your mind now Not to know how much you love me Not to know how much you need me Not to know who calls you after Not to know if I believe you Yes, the terror is in hiding In your stillness so inviting In the heavy, leaden silence Like the ocean we are riding And just when I see it’s beauty Like a wire running through me I am burning from the inside Only tears on the outside
You need to comfort me You need to come to me And prove it to me now That I’m the one
