Tickets to a Prayer Wheel lyrics

Within A Room Somewhere
Music & Lyrics by : Matt Slocum

I breathe the mist 
floating about the stars 
I can caress with velvet hands 
I breathe the mist 
floating within without 
this pen between my fingers 

Messiah 
I know you are there 
within without me holding me 
Messiah 
I know you are there 
catching carrying this beautiful mess 

In the middle of my mourning
Sits joy like ahappy child
In the middle of this death
I must cry with life for a while

And death is great
We are in his keep, laughing and whole
When we feel deep in life
He dares weep, deep in our soul

And you are gone
But you are perfect now
And you like to dress
You wear dresses that never fade

And you are gone

amber liquid
wetting wine cups to the stem,
spilling drops of bliss and on the earth like little gems
that myself mistook so foolishly
as I stopped to steal a drink
of the liquid in the melting
in my eyes in my hands and on my lips,
and on my lips

earthy blankets
full of golden lint and thread
I see the children play as I am on my way again
to another place

how you laughed when I cried
each time I saw the tide
take our love letters from the sand
you made the vow that you would always be true
but somehow that vow meant nothing to you
now my broken heartaches
with every wave that breaks
over love letters in the sand
made the vow that you would always be true
but somehow that vow meant nothing to you
on a day like today
