can you see your promise where you are?
does it burn like starlight in your heart?
‘cause i have lost you into the dark. we were born in tandem, like a pair of wings that danced in the thin air. we fell out of time and to the ground, when you resolved the wind was never there. but i still cling to the heart we share. please come home. please come home. meet me by the lakeshore; tell me all you know, and i will wash your feet and dry your brow from histories and hurts that you have grown. and you will someday see how full and proud i’d be to watch you step out of the shadows. should you stumble, you are not alone. please come home. please come home. i saw your tired eyes, and i never loved you right; i let you grow cold. and you made your own way to the truth, and i know that you will not be told that i still love you, and your name is known.
please come home.
please come home.
but when we were in love, if we were
when we were in love, i was an eagle
and you were a dove.
so you’re a man of valour
that’s what you said
well i hate to break it to you, babe
but chivalry is dead.
see, my heart was open
to a guy like you
but he hardly even breathed me in
before his courage turned blue.
come along, now
to the mountains
come along, now
and let yourself run free.
in these peaks and valleys
there’s nothing new
but the wind that brings it all to life
has yet to be pursued.
well, i could be honest
i could be brave
if a simple-hearted wanderer
did seek my hand to save.
come along, now
to the mountains
come along, now
and let yourself run free.
come to me
and set me free.
come to me
and set me free.
You are the promise I have
Listened for
A secret kept by the sun
But summer has come and I am
Found by warmth
The king of the day will whisper true
And I follow the way the words might
Tumble down
And steady myself on the ground
When you understand my darkness
And you know it sleeps far from this
Then we’ll call this journey ours
And this will be the start
My fear is yours to hold but
Tremble not
The sun will soothe your intent
It burns, it blinds, it builds up again
Till we lift our burden high
And a new life begins
And sees my fear replaced
With a love
That you can call your own
When you understand my darkness
And you know it sleeps far from this
Then we’ll call this journey ours
And this will be the start
You have run from lesser things than this
And I have run from you
So kill this distance with a lover’s kiss
And raise the sky with your truth.
