I Don’t Deserve You

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
