SHEET OF GLASS

A surprisingly gentle song about the experience of loss and separation, and a discovery of faith...

SHEET OF GLASS

Used to think
that I was dreaming
when I said
we live forever
and my grief
was just a telling
what was real
Today I know
that I was wrong
my tears were dreaming
all along
It’s love that lives forever
that I feel

I’ve been watching
I’ve been waiting
just for you
my love
I’ve been walking
every pathway
that I knew
my love
I reach to touch
your fingertips
along the wall
that separates us
it’s you, it’s me
and a sheet of glass

I felt your body leaving
and the empty place
I stood in
and I wondered how I’d live
without your smile
But then I saw
that I was wrong
your spirit’s shining
all along
closer than my breathing
all the while

I’ve been watching
I’ve been waiting
just for you
my love
I’ve been walking
every pathway
that I knew
my love
I reach to touch
your fingertips
along the wall
that separates us
it’s you, it’s me
and a sheet of glass

I love you so
I let you go
I know you must
leave me
I love you so
I let you go
to where
your soul
must be
