Song For The Dead
from Stonewick · host Stonewick
Lyrics: These notes, the wings that lift my prayer For all these souls conflicted, so cold and unaware They stand in place for so many days & gaze uphill Patient as a mountain & twice as still We've met before so many times along the way I cannot move them but they won't remain So every one of them has gone and left me here To wallow in my cowardice & curse my fear Don't they every wish they could be satisfied? Raging without respite and dead inside How can they happy with the pain they wear Still they hold it closer and just disappear Turned myself into a harbor that no one needs Turned myself into a warning sign that no one reads One by one they disappear and pass me by The dead just find it easier to die / The dead just find it easier to die Father hold me in your arms, take me to your side Let this bitter emptiness pass me by The waters wash up over me and chill my soul Be my only anchor, don't let me go Pick me up and dust me off, save me from despair Oh, you know how weak I am, so slow to care So concerned with getting my bruised heart to heal Deafened to their dying cries, afraid to feel And all my time is spent so selfishly I'm here for them but all I talk about is me Don't let me turn a blind eye that cannot weep Wishes are all worthless and talk is cheap Again this darkness settles in my bones I ask for bread but all I see are scattered stones Never would I call your providence unkind I'm just so burned-up, can't lift my eyes Father hold me in your arms, take me to your side Let this bitter emptiness pass me by The waters wash up over me and chill my soul Be my only anchor, don't let me go Be my only anchor, don't let me go Turned myself into a harbor that no one needs Turned myself into a warning sign that no one reads One by one they disappear and pass me by The dead just find it easier to die / The dead just find it easier to die Father hold me in your arms, take me to your side Let this bitter emptiness pass me by The waters wash up over me and chill my soul Be my only anchor, don't let me go Be my only anchor, don't let me go
