Why are you striving these days Why are you trying to earn grace Why are you crying Let me lift up your face Just don't turn away
Why are you looking for love Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough To where will you go child Tell me where will you run To where will you run
And I'll be by your side Wherever you fall In the dead of night Whenever you call And please don't fight These hands that are holding you My hands are holding you
Look at these hands and my side They swallowed the grave on that night When I drank the world's sin So I could carry you in And give you life I want to give you life
** Cause I, I love you I want you to know That I, I love you I'll never let you go
Caught out running With just a little too much to hide Maybe baby Everything's gonna work out fine Please read the letter I pinned it to your door It's crazy how it all turned out We needed so much more
Too late, too late A fool could read the signs Maybe baby You'd better check between the lines Please read the letter, I Wrote it in my sleep With help and consultation from The angels of the deep
Once I stood beside a well of many words My house was full of rings and Charms and pretty birds Please understand me, my Walls come falling down There's nothing here that's left for you But check with lost and found
Please read the letter that I wrote Please read the letter that I wrote
One more song just before we go Remember baby All the things We used to know Please read my letter And promise you'll keep The secrets and the memories and Cherish in the deep
Ah...
Please read the letter that I wrote Please read the letter that I wrote Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote Please read the letter that I wrote Please read the letter that I wrote
"Your Long Journey"
God's given us years of happiness here Now we must part And as the angels come and call for you The pains of grief tug at my heart
Oh my darling My darling My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Oh the days will be empty The nights so long without you my love And when God calls for you I'm left alone But we will meet in heaven above
Oh my darling My darling My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Fond memories I'll keep of happy ways That on earth we trod And when I come we will walk hand in hand As one in heaven in the family of God
Oh my darling My darling My heart breaks as you take your long journey
"Through The Morning, Through The Night"
Believe me when I tell you I will try to understand Belive me when I tell you I could never kill a man
But to know that another man's holding you tight Hurts me, little darling Thru the morning thru the night
The bond has been broken The promise you gave The words that were spoken I can not be your slave
But to know that the trust you had in me is gone Hurts me, little darling Thru the nightime thru the dawn
I dreamed just last night you were there by my side Your sweet loving tenderness Easing my pride
But then I awoke and found you not there It was just my old memory of how much I care
Belive me when I tell you I will try to understand Belive me when I tell you I could never kill a man
But to know that another man's holding you tight Hurts me little, darling Thru the morning thru the night
