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
