Something keeps me awake
Something outside is stirring
Through the dark and over the grass
The rabbits and snakes are concurring
They sing in the soil and bones rattle loud
They cry out as this they do see
Someone in those walls is suffering proud
For you are worth every ache within me
I don't hear music, don't hear anything
I see dirt I see cement
What a troubled world it is when
You're outside arm's length
It pulls out its teeth in dry irreverence
Come and find me on this floor
I'm only a half truth betold
Take away all the distance and say
"My beloved now I'm here and now you are whole"
If I turn to see your eyes in the dark
I will know the blue in an instant
Never have they gone so far
Or never has your face been distant
My life I will give you like a verse and a ring
I will be your only one
And what you ask of me will be yours until all is said and done
Your heart's a song that I hear Jesus sing
It comes over oceans to me
And the notes spell out messages in vibrant streams
And what's written you show only me
But if you can't close up all the gaps tonight
Put me to bed in your ways
You see right through everything I am
For you my insides are displayed
Sing me to sleep my beautiful one
I will love only you for all time
Sing me to sleep my only one
With promises that you are all mine
Be still my heart, I hear your back cracking
It sounds like music to me
I see your face and I can hardly breath
It looks just like a song to me
