Drawing Down Heaven

I saw you in cobalt and starlight
In the satin of a dream
You spin on your axis, churning the air
Drawing down heaven, pulling on me
I'm letting the phone ring all night
Can't show you the quake in my knees
The weight of this silence could blot out the stars
Drawing down heaven, pulling on me
What could I say
That could put it all back in the bottle?
What could I say
That could stitch up this wound?
Goddammit I'm trying
It's a long, slow dying
Bleeding out in an empty room
When I wake up, the world is still dark
The owls gave the bluebirds the song
I look out to find you, cobalt and stars
Drawing down heaven, pulling on me
But you'll leave the phone ringing all night
You've got things to do, people to see
And you can't be the one to drop your guard
Drawing down heaven, pulling on me

Wayfaring Stranger

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger,
Traveling through this world below.
There is no sickness, no toil, no danger,
In that bright land to which I go.
I'm goin' there to see my father.
And all my loved ones who've gone on.
I'm just goin' over Jordan.
I'm just goin' over home.
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me,
I know my way is hard and steep.
But beauteous fields arise before me,
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep.
I'm goin' there to see my mother.
She said she'd meet me when I come.
So, I'm just goin' over Jordan.
I'm just goin' over home.
I'm just goin' over Jordan.
I'm just goin' over home.
