Tamar

Dont be afraid of the night
The stars are true and brave
Like a lover who will follow you in darkness
And won't fear to need you in the day
I bite my tongue in the silence
Searching for grace and memories
Of the pain I carried at your age
And the confusion that kept me in the fight
But I’m so glad to see you
Forgive me for what Ive done
It was wrong of me to take you as my own
And then leave you with no one to hold
I know I ain't right
Pushing you into my fight
I would run if I could
I dont give like I should
Tamar was my blind reflection
Hiding my summer tragedy
Comparing her tears to my confession
I wanted her story to be mine
Tommorow I will follow the sparrow
Lay down all my sorrow
Im not fooling you or me
I do still believe
