Something keeps me awake
Something outside is stirring
Through the dark and over the grass
The rabbits and snakes are concurring
They sing in the soil and bones rattle loud
They cry out as this they do see
In these walls and suffering proud
For you are worth every ache within me
I dont hear music, dont hear anything
I see dirt, I see cement
What a troubled world it is when youre outside, I'm free
It pulls out its teeth in dry irreverence
Come and find me on this floor
I am only a half, truth be told
Take away all the distance and say
"My beloved, Im here and now you are whole"
If I turn and see your eyes in the dark
I will know the blue in an instant
Never have they gone so far
Never has your face been distant
My life I will give you like a verse and a ring
I will be your only one
And what you ask of me will be yours
Until all is said and done
Your heart's a song that I hear Jesus sing
It comes over oceans to me
And the notes spell out messages in vibrant streams
And whats written you show only me
But if you cant close up all the gaps tonight
Put me to bed in your way
You see right through everything I am
For you my insides are displayed
Sing me to sleep, my beautiful one
I will love only you for all time
Sing me to sleep, my only one
With promises that you are all mine
Be still my heart, I hear your back cracking
Sounds like music to me
I see your face and I can hardly breathe
It looks just like a song to me
