You met me in a place
where time stood still
in profile, a perfect angel
though i, had not the will
to try, to win you over
i had bigger fish to kill...
you challenged me, to do
the only thing i'd ever known
to calm my aching heart
took me back through my life
made me look deeper inside
than anybody knew...
and so did you
together in a way,
we connected the dots
found an uncertain truth
turned yourself inside out
payed a higher price than Gold
changed the pattern of your pathway
so completely, that when you called
you touched my life line with your own
took my half and made it whole...
called me to you... every hour
we spoke on the telephone
and with reassurance in your voice
in a tone steady and sure, gave promise
where i had not much left to lose...
made your choice, before i ever knew
what you had come there for
And once again, the lifeboat i was in
had fortunes smile and hope
for a new journey to begin
...a worthy prize to win...
gave my becalmed sails, new wind...
there was no way out... but further in
and without hesitation or uncertainty
you took me from the shelf
where the pattern of my belief
no longer supported me
and saved me from myself...
something, you would never do
...for someone else...
even though, i never asked
this of you, you dared
to take a chance
when you first touched me
i was in the distant blue
beyond reach of anyone
and headed for a fall
i knew was sure come
...and i had no one...
close enough
to bring me back
from where i stood...
crippled, alone
with a song in my heart, i cried...
knowing, it was time to lose
shed my tears and run
i chose between
a vision and my pride
so as i slipped...
released my grip
doing a swan dive
surrendered my all
fell, twisting and turning
you were the focus
of my dreams...
a way, while i had no means
to give more than
another task for you
to catch Hell for
as you, too...
were barely
hanging on
together we dropped
further down
the well of souls
into the awaiting abyss
where you caught me
did what no one else had ever done
met me with open arms,
gave me your truth...
where i had none
with you i feel a song
...in my heart...
