raindrops roll endlessly down the window pane
caught in gravity’s embrace
turning I try to walk away
I don’t deserve you
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
dead brown leaves are tossed by the winds
like spirits in bondage
glimpses of your glory
I don’t deserve you
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
I want to scream, is this a dream
strange spirits of unexplained delight
so you come to me
I don’t deserve you
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
there are things no memory can forget
nameless mysteries that linger
eyes are dim and blind
I don’t deserve you
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
stars appear and ghostly shadows fall
sleep hides in the dark night
silent hours pass in reverie
I don’t deserve you
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
standing right here in the pouring rain
washed clean by a magic spell
dancing wings of song arise
I don’t deserve you
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
from the ashes a life reborn
forever safe in your arms
believing in the unbelief
I don’t deserve you
