[00:20.63] |
I wasn't ready when you came |
[00:22.80] |
And now that I feel you pull away |
[00:25.60] |
I'm not ready to let you leave so soon |
[00:30.64] |
Your shoulders have been growing strong |
[00:33.02] |
And the heart within you beats for love |
[00:35.72] |
Of God and man, and still I want to hold you |
[00:40.01] |
I will stand by in case you need reminding |
[00:49.65] |
I'll leave the porch light always on for you |
[01:00.03] |
And when you need me, you'll know where to find me |
[01:09.73] |
You can't make me love you any less, |
[01:13.47] |
Love you anymore than I do |
[01:17.25] |
~ |
[01:26.16] |
I see you sleeping like a child |
[01:28.85] |
But the babe's been gone for a little while |
[01:31.10] |
And I'm still standing watch over your dreams |
[01:35.90] |
I worry that you'll take the lie |
[01:38.38] |
That tastes like truth without the bite |
[01:40.90] |
That you'll believe that love is something easy |
[01:45.69] |
I will stand by in case you need reminding |
[01:55.23] |
I'll leave the porch light always on for you |
[02:05.37] |
And when you need me, you'll know where to find me |
[02:15.08] |
You can't make me love you any less, |
[02:19.13] |
Love you anymore than I do |
[02:22.89] |
~ |
[02:25.63] |
So run into the lapping waves |
[02:35.58] |
I know what is good may not always be safe |
[02:45.56] |
And it isn't I who shelters you anyway |
[02:55.64] |
You were never mine to keep, |
[02:58.83] |
but to carry for a few days |
[03:02.70] |
~ |
[03:21.67] |
I see you sleeping like a child |
[03:24.88] |
But the babe's been gone for a little while |
[03:27.68] |
And I'm still standing watch over your dreams |
[03:37.50] |
