Sit
Enthroned in white grandeur
But tired
And shift
A wisp of wayward silver hair
From your eyes
I'd never seen you unkempt before
As you whispered: Darling, close the door
Well, how
Have I not made a note of every word
You ever said?
And time
Is not on our side
But I'll pretend that it's alright
She says the Lord has a plan
But admits it's pretty hard to understand
Before you leave
You must know you are beloved
And before you leave
Remember I was with you
Are you afraid?
How ever could you not be?
In this rosy light
This is strange
I feel a hand come through the mirror
Pointing at the light
Point at the light we never see
As you put your feathered arms over me
Before you leave
You must know you are beloved
And before you leave
Remember I was with you
And as you leave
I won't hold you back, beloved
We'll sit
And talk the stars down from the sky
And I'll not
Forget the chaos in your eyes, love
And as you leave
You must know you are beloved
And as you leave
I can see the wild has come for you
And as you leave
I won't hold you back, beloved
And as you leave
See my children playing at your feet
