Love and Solitude (Gracious Kiss)
I am perched outside your window
you've probably heard my song
springtime into summer
I fall silent, then I'm gone
you might have thought you'd seen me
through the branches in the trees
across the falling sky
probably brought you to your knees
I am soft as a feather
invisible on the breeze
I am walking in your garden
and the silence between the trees
I am the motion of the river
the love that heals your heart
the stillness of the lake
the mystery beyond the stars
I believe in love and redemption
when you've broken all the rules
lost your emotions on the highway
treated others cruel
I travel greatest distance
without moving very far
seeking breath in perfect spaces
like the strings on this guitar
We resist the faith inside us
don't hear beauty when she calls
get stuck in apprehension
and the silence between walls
we defend our perfect argument
oh, how we fight and we resist!
somewhere between Love and Solitude
we'll find the Gracious Kiss
