you

Lyrics

when i was born you were my breath, you warmed my skin against your breast, you were my food you were my light, you were my morning and my night, it's always only ever been, it's always only ever been you, and then i met you on the wall, you were seventeen inches tall, a painted smile across your face, i prayed for heaven, prayed for grace, i gave my life when i was ten, i prayed in tongues was born again, it's always only ever been you, you were there, as the world unfolded harsher fare, as the spiral pared the seams, and the brand new colors gleamed, i could only think of you, you were there, every broken heart and tangled care, jesus, savior, lord, and king, oh my friend and everything, it was always only you, i saw the writing on the wall, you were a man and that was all, there was no god in heaven above, there was no perfect saving love, it was always only ever me, it was always only me, and then my world was torn apart, i felt a ground, i felt a heart, and all the universe was one, just like a father, spirit, son, my heart is open once again, a distant love, a forlorn friend, maybe it's always ever been, you, if you are there, as the world unfolds its harsher fare, as the spiral pairs the seams, as the holy haunts my dreams, i will stay right here with you, you were there, every broken heart and tangled care, jesus, teacher, brahman light, son of god and source of life, and it's always only you
