Holding Lyrics

I hear you calling and I want to come
Run straight into the valleys of your arms and disappear there
But I know my love could fail you
Because in a clearing when the sunlight comes
Exposing all the shadows of/in our intricate behavior
I see/feel a sort of fading
We build our own unfolding
___

It's in the morning when the sadness comes
The tears fall down in patterns on the windows
and our shape is undone
You only wanted holding
and I let my structure fail you
You know, I watched as it unfolded.
___

And in the image of the other hand
A needle drawing pictures in the blood that runs the valley
Your honesty engraves me
Stay the line
The pain of its derailing
___

And in the water
where a mirror opens up
To show the gravity of non-repeating patterns
When no one else can hold you
Come in and then unfold
Oh the lines
I'm lying just to hold you
___

It's in the evening when the moonlight comes
Illuminating silver in the rivers as they fall/run into the sea
The beauty of their failure
as the tides erase their lining

There's nothing left to hold to.
