A Song For Deborah

Clinging to her

Offering a silent prayer

For it to be over

Mark it up and clear the air

She is willing

I am lost in her despair

Cut my tongue out

And hear no words

 

Clinging to me

Offering a silent prayer

Waiting to be

Like a dove

Like a dove

I’m sorry I can’t take your pain

Today, today, today, today, today

Yesterday will be the same

As tomorrow

 

Hope and fear

 

Clinging to me

Offering a silent prayer

Waiting to be

Like a dove

Like a dove

I’m sorry I can’t take your pain

Today, today, today, today, today

Yesterday will be the same

As tomorrow

 

Hope and fear
