Ivy and Stone

Cover myself in ivy and stone
I walked out of the city alone
An ache in my heart I was burnt to the bone
Miles away from the safety of home

The water was cold creeping up to my chest
This river runs close to the shadow of death
Blood rained from the sky like the tears from my head
And I wept and I cursed all the workings of men

Then I sang to the sun and I sang to the moon
I sang 'till my soul was no longer bruised
I carry my cross and I carry it true
Scattered around all the words wrote for you

Silent I saw her in clear morning light
Flowers in her hair and a dress of pure white
Angels they stand keeping watch by her side
They whisper her name in the dead of the night

Sunlight before the eyes
And so I rise from ash and dust
It's alright I'll make you mine
It's been a while since I've felt so alive

Then I sang to the sun and I sang to the moon
I sang 'till my soul was no longer bruised
I carry my cross and I carry it true
Scattered around all the words wrote for you

You saved my soul
Don't let me go
'Cause I don't want to drown
I sank so low
How can you know
What it's like to be found

You saved my soul
Don't let me go
'Cause I don't want to drown
I sank so low
How can you know
What it's like to be found

Then I sang to the sun and I sang to the moon
I sang 'till my soul was no longer bruised
I carry my cross and I carry it true
Scattered around all the words wrote for you
