Here Where You Were

In my dream
Of sweet belonging
You were my chosen on
In my sky
Of hope and longing
You were the beckoning sun
In the dark of night
That prays for some light
Before your love, there was none
But now here where you were
There's just the shadow of wings
From a disappearing bird
Here where you were
There’s just the echo of a cry
Too far-off to be heard
I lost and found myself in you
I would have followеd you into the farthest blue
But now hеre where you were
There's no one, (not even me), to hold on to
In my mind
You walked on water
In every earthly way
In my heart
You were the altar
Where I would come to pray
In my soul you were
The dawning of life
That rose in me every day

I walked with you down your longest road
I carried some of your unbearable load
And I was there to catch the tears that flowed
