Don't Let Your Love Grow Away (From Me)

(album: Mulberry Street - 2005)

So to speak
breathing deep
face and hands
chilly sweat
phone to ear
eyes to mirror
wall to wall
connection's clear

saw you Sunday
torn in two
my demons took up
the whole church pew
sleep walked up receieved
the bread and wine
begging Jesus to cleanse my mind
begging Jesus to cleanse my heart
begging Jesus to cleanse my soul

don't let your love grow away from me
don't let your love grow away from me
shocked to find
all my words
won't save me this time
no I won't quiet down
and you'd think by now
I bow out gracefully
goodbye to the show

don't let your love grow away from me
don't let your love grow away from me
I could rip
I could tear
our memories' seams
I could fold
show my hands
as naked as thieves
but I stare at this bridge
the cracks underneath

don't let your love grow away from me
don't let your love grow away from me
shocked to find
all my words
won't save me this time
no I won't quiet down
and you'd think by now
I bow out gracefully
and goodbye to the show
