I ran away to escape your house 
The one that makes me quiet as a mouse 
To suffer your storm 
And what is warm 
Is cold as hell
As all these people wish you well 
Then trap you in a turn of phrase 
The demon it took an eon to raise 
And who am I supposed to praise 
For being punished for what my heart says 
For I love him so
And a thousand miles cannot let him go 
I found the bend in the fork
When I was lying in New York 
Under a darkened zoom 
It was quiet in the room 
And I called out “David” and whispered to him 
Roused him from the sleep he was in 
Til he turned and looked into my eyes
And sees that which never dies 
I know you’ve been though the sea 
Just to find your way to me 
I know you’ve been through the forest
Just to find a girl to keep you honest 
And she looks fine
But does she realise that you are mine 
And have always been 
From the first moment you were seen 
To the last 
We’ve lived many lives in the past 
And we’ve been together 
Somehow amidst the weather 
That just seems to rain 
And we inflict pain 
On our soul 
Because we can’t find the part that would make us whole 
In another’s gaze 
“Don’t worry, child, it’s just a phase
You’ll grow out of it”
But I doubted it 
Like I doubted the law that reminds
You must find a body to bind 
So that you can make two 
And make another out of you 
But it’s just not for me 
I remember the day he said to me 
About a friend of mine 
You’ll have babies running around in time 
And it twisted my insides like a knife in a knot 
It hurt a lot 
Because that’s not something I would ever want to do 
At least not with anyone but you 
And maybe not even then 
All I know is I end my prayer with amen
When I pray for you 
I hope you find the water the Lord leads you to
