YOUR VOICE, YOUR FACE

Here on this darkest night she can see her falling star
Has a long and fateful arc
(She can fly but she can’t find the ground)
All that’s been given her, both the flower and the thorn
So much love has lost its way, so much more can be found in your
Voice, your face—I long for another place
Your voice, your face, show me what more I might give just to love

She came from an inland sea as she gasped for air to breathe
But she could have come just as well
From the light in the beam of the sun
What she could not foretell, don’t ask of her to sell
In the coarse of time it may show
It may run, it may fall, it may
Fly to me, tell me the words that can make love
Come to me, all of the love that still longs to be

Running, flying, soaring, crying, where did the love go?
Paying, playing, praying that there’s someone who might know
These friends, these loves, these places where we grow
As they come, as they go, feeling that we’re somehow greater than we know

Bathe her with golden dreams of delight
Strike the darkness from her night
Like a fish thrown back to sea she may still see a glimmer of me
What will always endure, let her hold it in her grasp
Let her feel her here with me, let us live, let us love, let us
Dance with me, show me another way to
Be with me, show me what more I might give just to love

If she once knew the way, if there was once a time and place
Make it real for her again, in the grace of your loving embrace
This moment make it clear, let her feel what brought her here
So much love she has to give, so much more she may find in your
Voice, your face, build me a sacred place
Your voice, your face, I am still waiting here

A Song Can Tell A Story

When words leave off, music begins.
