you are still burning

the flame that is turning

my smoldering ash into a bird

so stay close my brother

I couldn't stand the loss

you are the bridge of action

I need you to help me cross

I need you to help me



[Chorus]

so when you break

my arms I'll take hold of you

I know your hearts a hand that takes hold of me



my hand that is breaking

is the hand that is making

all the dead things in me grow

a gift of a holy loss

this burning at the dross



[Chorus]

so when you break

my arms I'll take hold of you

I know your hearts a hand that takes hold of me



[Bridge]

why do you set out to break the one thing

the one thing that I have to give

its hard to believe that I could

that I should begin again

but I know you heart is a hand



[Chorus]

so when I break

your arms you'll take hold of me

you know my hearts a hand that takes hold of you

so when you break

my arms I'll take hold of you

I know your hearts a hand that takes hold of me

so when you break

my arms I'll take hold of you

I know your hearts a hand that takes hold of me
