Water in the Rose

You gave the water in the rose Over time I've said your name Oh it's scarlet where you prayed The hours never seem to go Oh the door has never closed How the threshold grows and wanes It's in the light within the shade Oh you gave me everything I know Your image in my brain And the fragrance of your clothes The entrance way will be cared for And the table will be adorned In this empty home I'm standing on this edge again The moment that I often slip to fall But I won't let go Into the ether I will wait Until the final well has drained So these words cannot come close To languages that hearts contain A depth that lives inside of pain The entrance way will be cared for And the table will be adorned In this empty home I'm standing on this edge again The moment that I often slip to fall But I won't let go
