Lately

Lately I walk on a lonely road it's the only road I know lately I talk with my shadow no ear to hear my groan no dwelling to call home no shelter from the snow Lately I sing on a broken stage no words upon my page lately I stroll on an empty lane it's easier that way no one to see the pain or to break my heart again and the night covers up my shame hides away my name, I hate when the morning nears and the snow covers up my face I try to erase all trace of these fears Lately I sleep alone and underneath my canopy of trees Lately I've been searching for a friend burdened with my sin no refuge from the wind no one to take me in and the night covers up my shame hides away my name, I hate when the morning nears and the snow covers up my face I try to erase all trace of these fears Someday I'll see the saints a-welcome me what else can I believe? someday we'll sing a perfect melody in perfect harmony we'll worship perfectly see what we've longed to see where everyone we meet is long-lost family no reason more to grieve no need no more to leave
