Where You Go
You
are the only thing I have
all I can be sure of
your certainty slipping by
away and away
while I fool myself
for one more day
never wanting to believe
you wont stay
forever
When first we made you
in water and sand
honing precision
from flickering star and shadow
we saw
you could never be owned
but we gave you control
surrendered the power
that orders our lives
to a notion without a soul
On nights to wonder
how mountains hold their breath
while oceans dream of fury stilled
the machine of our creation
never sleeps
when your heart that can't be broken
always beats
slipping by
away and away
and away
How God must laugh out loud
to be the only one
who knows
are the only thing I have
all I can be sure of
your certainty slipping by
away and away
while I fool myself
for one more day
never wanting to believe
you wont stay
forever
When first we made you
in water and sand
honing precision
from flickering star and shadow
we saw
you could never be owned
but we gave you control
surrendered the power
that orders our lives
to a notion without a soul
On nights to wonder
how mountains hold their breath
while oceans dream of fury stilled
the machine of our creation
never sleeps
when your heart that can't be broken
always beats
slipping by
away and away
and away
How God must laugh out loud
to be the only one
who knows
