So lie with me and be my love just for now
Stay with me all through the night
Be as close to me as you can be

Til morning sets you free



When you saw me I was broken,
I was scattered in the dust
Like the way you feel sometimes,

when you feel too much
You put your hands around my face
like a circle 'round the sun

When I thought that it was finished
it had only just begun


So lie with me and be my love just for now
Stay with me all through the night
Be as close to me as you can be

Til morning sets you free, again

You shine across the morning

as I turn to face the east
You told me how to give away
things never meant to keep

Your love is rolling like a wave
that breaks right over me
One hand can hold the ocean

but will never stop the sea

So lie with me and be my love just for now

Stay with me all through the night
Be as close to me as you can be
Til morning sets you free


Your skin it looks so golden
standing naked in the sun

Your soul it feels so holy
as close as the earth can come
A wave can cut a stone to sand

and the wind can break your bones
I'm wondering how you're doing now
when you are alone


So lie with me and be my love just for now
Stay with me all through the night

Be as close to me as you can be
Til morning sets you free, once again, once again


ALTERNATE LYRICS:

He was just a prisoner

Prisoner of your pain
Whose sentence was to serve you
Let you love again

If you go away,
He'll still be singing in his chains
Behind the walls of knowing

There was no such thing as blame

Refrain


Deeper than the ocean
Wider than the sea

The loneliness you harbored from
A love that was deceived
How did you ever know

What the answer couldn't be
The dying's almost easier
Than trying to believe again


Refrain


Your eyes they are so empty now
So pale in the sun
Your heart it is so weary

From not wanting anyone
With every breath you take
It's for the love that didn't come
Still longing for the day
You thought your life had just begun


Refrain
