I might be a part of this Ripple on water from a lonesome drip A fallen tree that witness me I'm alone, him and me And then life itself could not aspire To have someone be so admired I threw creation to my kin With the silence broken by a whispered wind All of this can be broken All of this can be broken Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground But the love of your life lives but lies no more And where she lay a flower grows And the arms that fed and the babes that wed And the backs that bled keeping her in tow Many miles and many trains Brought you to me on this sunny isle And what of which you wish to speak Have you come here to rescue me? And root to root and tip to tip I look at him my country gyp Leathered up by all his fears But someone brought you close to tears All of this can be broken All of this can be broken Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground But the love of your life lives but lies no more And where she lay a flower grows The arms that fed and the babes that wed And the backs that bled keeping her in tow But I am your keeper And I hold your face away from light I am yours till they come I am yours till they come
