You Come To Me

October 25, 2002

When the day is fading

and the shadows are long

when the light is failing

and my heart can’t go on

when the white stars emerge

and light through the sky bleeds

and dew covers the earth

You come to me

When pride bars my way

and I’m locked up in chains

and strength comes through too late

and hope by fear is slain

when winds of blank despair

knock me onto the ground

when my soul lies cold and bare

You come down

When I’m crying in my prison

left alone without love

when the sun shines like a prism

through the sweet stillness of dusk

whether I’m scared and lonely

or at peace with everything

You come near and hold me

You remove the sting
