The Turn

 A peace too strong to hold

A silent that speaks so much

In the silence my heart grows bold

And is made still by your touch

Far too much to let go

Yet too wild to hold back

The love in your eyes shows

In cannot be held back

A fire unto dying wood

Yet the rain all the same

You burn down strength that stood

And still the flame is tame

Only breaking what must break

Only stealing what must go

Nothing more do you ever take

Without throwing seeds to sow

If a tree should hide your light from me

you swiftly cut it to the ground

Your jealous eyes are all I read

I follow a cord unwound

You wait on me to remember

If in your shoes, I would leave

You call me through september

And many nights you have grieved

A lover held back from her love

You weep a tear unseen

You call my name, 'Come back my love!

Awake from this empty dream!'

Why should I seek another voice

When you already speak pride

Where I should be glad and rejoice

I seek another guide

Oh the tears you've shed on me

When I was lost from you

Oh the days you called to me

When I sought a love untrue

Though at times I leave your side

I always return to your heart

You held me head when I wept and cried

You loved as though we'd never been apart

The joy you spread upon my head

That is where I find delight

I will rest instead upon your bed

As you cradle me this night
