Hem it on my shoulder, sew it in our skin
Subject to time, my mind it runs again
Gracefully deceiving, ink bleeds in
Goodness gracious sin
Alabaster snowflakes build a man of whim
This hollow head of mine bids me confide in him
Seasons of our frailty, love's portrait, she is mine
Do I know where you go, that's not the truth I find
Lonely in your heaven, you've lived hard enough to know
That ache inside your bones, bids you up to let love grow
Wear me down with all you've got, chisel to my soul
Show me how to make it stop, I fear my head says go
Loosen all your substance, trail it in the wind
Give me back your words, I wasn't through with them
Pour in me compassion, rein my spirit in
I'll be waiting on you, lover born a friend
Lonely in your heaven, you've lived hard enough to know
That ache inside your bones, bids you up to let love grow
Wear me down with all you've got, chisel to my soul
Show me how to make it stop, I fear my head says go
Tell them I'm en route
Tell them how a new soul came to town
Tell them fear speaks loud
Still I hear you somehow
Tell them I'm en route
Tell them how a new soul came to town
Tell them fear speaks loud
Still I hear you somehow
