Until You Go
In this stillness, this sadness
Hold my grieving, my madness
For a little while longer
Till I feel stronger
Love is closing down upon me
I did not know love before now
Here in the wilderness
I feel a tenderness
Where is my dwelling place
Wonder or longing
I want to stay with you
My place of belonging
Until you go
Death it surely comes to greet us
How can you be gone forever
Just when I learned you
And we embraced us
See his eyes and how he needs me
I'm an eagle set for soaring
O'er all of creation
As long as I'm able
Where is my dwelling place
Wonder or longing
I want to stay with you
My place of belonging
Until you go
Tracing old familiar paths
And bridges made for crossing
I have learned to say goodbye
Oh, what love has cost me
Then the rawness starts to fade out
And my thoughts glaze over nicely
Time is no healer
Pain makes me human
Come my love and let me hold you
We must fight to keep on living
For in a moment
Birds' wings are breaking
Where is my dwelling place
Wonder or longing
I want to stay with you
My place of belonging
Until you go
