Going room to room grasping for the door in a house I didn’t recognize anymore

Afraid that I’m alone in this unforgiving tomb surrounded by a darkness I didn’t think would come so soon

If I could trust my eyes to open I’d pray for help that never comes

And all the while my heart was pounding out the sound of funeral drums

So sweet Jesus if you ear me through the smoke that fills the air

Turn my wine into water and hear my final prayer

Give my face to my mother when she see’s the morning sun

Give my feet to my lover who’s been five years on the run

Send my voice in the wind for my father to hear

I’m not afraid to die I’m afraid to disappear

And the floor gave way to embers tossed me out to open seas without a moment to remember what had brought me to my knees

Now I’m crying out for mercy as I wrestle with my tears

And I’m feeling oh so thirsty as I’m drowning in my tears.

Give my face to my mother when she see’s the morning sun

Give my feet to my lover who’s been five years on the run

Send my voice in the wind for my father to hear

I’m not afraid to die I’m afraid to disappear

Just as I could feel my soul beginning to go numb I let out my final sigh knowing that my time had come

Dark gave way to light and I was facing two blue eyes

Awoken by my name and a voice I recognize

And you held me like a treasure as you gently laid me down

And your kiss upon my head was like a jewel upon my crown

And you swore we’d be together from here on till by and by

And the prayer I uttered fearful became a gentle lullaby

Give my face to my mother when she see’s the morning sun

Give my feet to my lover who’s been five years on the run

Send my voice in the wind for my father to hear

I’m not afraid to die I’m afraid to disappear
