The tears I shed were not in shame, the world was in my hands
I fear my faith will soon give out, my senses come undone
But songs of love should not be sung where staying is not planned
The price of lust has risen till the ceiling will not stand
The days fly by, the waves roll in but freedom has not come
My role is played, the demon dogs come stealin' over land
But deep within my soul I know it's better to be free
And foolish I would climb once more a tree too weak to stand
But songs of love will never leave love's feelings undefined
If trust was just a simple thing, then trusting I would be
The tide has turned, the waves roll in, the waters fill my eyes
The hollow sound inside me now keeps telling me to write
And foolish I would climb once more a tree too weak to stand
I see a place where candles burn and lovers rest tonight
