lyrics

I've been waiting by the window to see you come back home again.
I've been waiting, chaste and pacing, to see if you're still covered in skin.
And by your eyes, I can tell that you are not alone.
By your hands, I can feel everything that isn't shown.

I'm the ancient, near-complacent maverick monk in marshes lost;
You're the angel at the table, laughing over what's been lost.
I retract and feign reaction every time you turn your head;
You unburden my uncertain, and bring it on yourself instead.
And by your breathing, I can tell this is just a dream.
And by your pulse, I can tell dreams are everything they seem.

I am cursing, overworking, and falling out of time with God.
You are laughing, hands clapping -- telling me that I am odd.
I will never be so clever to kiss your fist of sunlight cells.
You are naked, flawed, and sacred -- and wise beyond all spells.
And by your tears, I can see everything you see.
By your feet, I can feel this is where you need to be.

I've been waiting by the window to see you come back home again.
I've been waiting, hesitating to thank you for letting me in.
