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 

Someone in those walls is suffering proud 

For you are worth every ache within me 



I don’t hear music, don’t hear anything 

I see dirt, I see cement 

What a troubled world it is when you’re outside arms length 

It pulls out it’s 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, I’m 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 is a song that I hear Jesus sing 

It comes over oceans to me 

And the notes spell out messages in vibrant streams 

And what’s written you show only me 



But if you can’t 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 

It sounds like music to me 

I see your face and I can hardly breath 

It looks just like a song to me
