john mark nelson – a place of my own lyrics
[verse 1]
early morning light shines, soon stirred from a dream
where the shirts lay folded carefully with hands so clean
cold winds call at the door, but get no reply
this was once a home that welcomed in the world outside
ooh
[verse 2]
i saw life in this home, learned love in her womb
now, i scarcely recognize the place that i once knew
darkness hangs in the hall, kept clean by your hand
and the floorboards whisper, “they no longer understand”
ooh
[chorus]
you feel surrounded, so you hide upon the floor and close your eyes
a heart so far away that leaves so many memories behind
[verse 3]
learned to call you by name, and look in your eyes
learned to trust you with the story of my lonesome life
now, i smile to think, what else can i do
i surrender to my longing for a love with you
ooh
[chorus]
you feel surrounded, so you hide upon the floor and close your eyes
a heart so far away that leaves so many memories behind
[verse 4]
one last look as she stands, my shelter so true
knowing all the laughter she will bring to someone new
may the mountain be far, and river so deep
i will raise you for the secrets you will learn to keep
ooh
