There's an overwhelming fear in me
That I'll die before I'm done
Setting stones
And planting roses
It seems to me that paradise
Is one more song away
Paint my picture all in blue
It's the best that I can do
But I'd like to lose
The weight of what's to come
And there's no use in telling him
That I've seen the face of God
Because his light is different
From mine
But every time I close my eyes
I'm shown what I could be
A starling, dear, just soaring
Through the field
But I'd to lose
The weight of what's to come
And I'd like to lose
The terror in my voice
The fear in this last choice
'Cause I think I'm here to stay
Till summer anyway
There's an overwhelming fear in me
That I'll pass you in the street
But looking down
I won't even see
