Come By the Sword Die By the Sword

Nothing changes Really I see the then As if it were now I trust that I shall See you then Again Somehow The door stands open As you muster What remains Pulling yourself Out of yourself Denied your burden Your weathered shell For me To see That unfettered soul Remaining whole While the cat slept And the clock crept I draw now as then So close… Within The reach of arms That taught me to hold I feel them now So strong Somehow Lifting me up To stumble once more Firm hands Help me stand Place me Upon the floor You teach me to walk Each day I step toward The whole of you Beyond the door Like a spell Your smell Wafting over the years Perfume Of daddy’s room Still tell Of hope not fears Of life poured And poured well I feel you Pop I feel your smell Tis our song All along Your laugh in my ears Five by five We alive In the song Not the tears We listen We laugh Life surges around Its my lips Searching He who Taught them to sound They miss Your kiss Hugging me off the ground Now every day Somehow Someway Each other A little boy does seek Your sound And shadow Smiling Me a halo On every Best day of the week
