lyrics

Give us the mercy to live out our days
I lost a step or two in the blaze
Of the angels and colors
That crashed to the ground
Leaving forgiveness where music resounds

And your love lies awake
At night
Your love lies awake
At night

Summon the shadows and slow passing cars
The guns that will burn out and turn into stars
All this talking of heaven when words can’t be found
Can we lift up each other
From these chains we are bound

And your love lies awake
At night
Your love lies awake
At night

I know the hunger exists in us all
Letters from lovers that you can’t recall
So release these confessions at last to the air
Stately the silence
Yet something is there

And your love lies awake
At night
Your love lies awake
At night

Give us the mercy
To live out our days
