lyrics

My heart grew cold, with each break of day
The light grew dim, and I began to fade

I danced with you, in my dreams so sweet
Each night grew dark, and each day I grew weak.

I sang you songs as though you could hear
The blues they haunted me my dear.

I prayed to god, he’d take my soul
He said in time he’d make me whole

She saw me hurt, I saw her grow
She grew stronger still, as I grew weak and old

Her voice told me that love was real
That god could speak and that I would heal

She heard the lord, he called her name.
And when I grew sick, she told me light would save.

I looked to god, I fell asleep
I walked the heavens and he walked with me

He said my day had not come yet
But soon the night would set at last

And I grew warm as I woke still
I knew the nights no longer chilled
