The Call

This love is calling out
Kept me safe when the waves were crashing in
Kept me safe when the shadows moved near

This love is calling out
Can't seem to let you go
Says it can't find another
Wants to feel your heart-beat against mine

Why does it hurt so much when all it wants
Is to love you
Why does it hurt so much when all it wants
Is to hold you

This love is calling out
Why is it not drenched in beauty
Where lies its light
In hopeless fear
And wishing spells

This love is calling out
Could it really be forever
