IN SEARCH OF THE WAY

Don’t you realize my darling 
That everyone you know is falling through 
Even you 
Tell me once again your secrets 
I promise that I will keep them safe this time 
At the edge of my mind 
  
When it’s cold outside 
And you’ve got no place to hide 
When you’re wandering 
And you’re hoping that you won’t find the bitter end 
Just walk in silence, don’t invite the fall 
  
When you pray the Lord’s forgiveness 
Do you ever stop to think that no one’s listening 
Oh but you must 
There’s Jesus in the Holy Scriptures 
Read the book and get the picture 
That he’s got no time for us 
  
When it’s cold outside 
And you’ve got no place to hide 
When you’re wandering 
And you’re hoping that you won’t find the bitter end 
Just follow silence, don’t invite the fall 
  
As you wander in search of something 
Hoping that it will stem from nothing much 
Is that lust? 
The silence spawns in all directions 
Close your eyes — it’s true perfection 
The darkness encircles us 
  
When it’s cold outside 
And you’ve got no place to hide 
When you’re wandering 
And you’re hoping that you won’t find the bitter end 
I will catch you if you choose to fall
