Come to me darling lay by my side
Hold me tight till morning is nigh
When you turn over I will turn too
I won't fight it I'll bend with you
I am yours
I've been yours before
A Pillar an Archway an Open Door.
I'll dance to your longing just like a shadow
Into the nights' cold dark hollow
Where nothing can harm us under the sun
There's safety in numbers together we're One.
Behold I am fair but I'll never judge you
My Beauty is strong but I won't let it crush you
For I am the One you can't find a name for
I am the One you came all this way for
I am the lover of your life
I am a comfort to the sick and the dying -
Those sick of love and those sick of lying
I can make you what you already are
Right here and right now
I can take you that far
I'll sing your praises in a strange land
By a dry riverbed by the touch of my hand
I'll be your fortress round your high tower -
Cover your weakness unleash your power
For I am the One you've waited your life for
I am the One you stepped into the Flame for
I am the lover of your life.
Look I want you to wake me if you stir in the night
When memory moves you or the moon's too bright
And your heart's full of sorrow and you've no idea why
And you'd like to work it out but you're too tired to try
I will uplift you in a vision of love
Then I'll be a little angel and go down from above
And we'll offer it up by the light of the moon
And just before dawn and again at high noon
You will remember me more than the wine
For I am immortal.
Forever.
Divine.
Now I really must leave you
I've stayed far too long
And said much too much for the sake of a song
And you know that I'm just some old lady of the night -
A comfort in darkness too bright in the light
But I want you to know you can call me any time
Just tell the Man you know me
And you can call me by my name
Just ask for 'Grace' or
'Mercy'
