Out Here
Out here the trees keep their secrets and the stars look the other way
Out here the moon hangs a cloud for cover, so darling, you can stay
Stay till the question burning in your soul is answered
Stay till your body is flooded with relief
Stay till the fear is lifted off you like a mist
And you can kiss the grief, you can kiss the grief goodbye
Out here there's no one asking where you came from or just how long you
plan to stay
Out here you've got all the time you need to weep or sleep or pray
Weep for the things you lost, not knowing you were losing
Sleep off the weariness that holds you in its clutch
Pray if you will for all the ones like you who never knew
How very much a single loving touch unties
Unclench your hand
Unbind your heart
Unwind the song so tightly wrapped inside your tender throat
See how it might float you free. .float you free. .float you free
Out here there's nothing to prevent you from leaving just the way you came
But out here your voice rings so clearly that nothing's ever quite the same
No one is meant to stay out here forever
Everyone finds their way in trouble and despair
Raven keeps count of all the paths in and out
He circles in the air, we come from everywhere
To try and try. .again. .to try. .out here
