Intro

Standing by the window

Eyes upon the moon

Hoping that the memory will leave her spirit soon

She shuts the doors and li ghts

And lays her body on the b ed

Where images and words are running deep

She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her h ead

So quietly she lays and waits for sleep

She stares at the ceiling and tries not to think

And pictures the chain She's been trying to l ink again

But the feeling is gon e

And water can't cover her memory

And ashes can't answer her pain

God give me the power to take breath from a br eeze

And call life from a cold metal f rame

In with the a shes

Or up with the smoke from the fire

With wings up in heaven

Or here, lying in bed

Palm of her hand to my head

Now and forever curled in my he art

And the heart of the wo rld
