You are still burning
the flame that is turning
my smoldering ash into a bird
so stay close, my brother
i couldn't stand the loss
you are the bridge of action
i need you to help me cross
i need you to help me
Chorus:
so when you break
my arms i'll take hold of you
i know your heart's
a hand that takes hold of me
My hand that is breaking
is the hand that is making
all the dead things in me grow
a gift of a holy loss
this burning at the dross
Chorus
so when you break
my arms i'll take hold of you
i know your heart's
a hand that takes hold of me
Bridge
why do you set out to break the one thing
the one thing that i have to give
it's hard to believe that i could
that i should begin again
but i know your heart is a hand
So when i break
your arms you'll take hold of me
you know my heart's
a hand that takes hold of you
so when you break
my arms i'll take hold of you
i know your heart's
a hand that takes hold of me
so when you break
my arms i'll take hold of you
i know your heart's
a hand that takes hold of me
