Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©1997

lyrics

i know a man who wept a song about a mess he's made
when bound up by the lashes of denying
you know the chasm between what's done and said
but you can't blame a man for trying

come to me like when the rain falls
like the arrows from the archer
let the wind behind the stars call me from
points of my departure

happens to the best of us these inconvenient things
happens to the rogue kings and queens
the heart has its poison she keeps hidden away
'til someone holds it up to the clear light of day

drowning know they're sinking
dead know they're not breathing
and i will take this song and be forever grateful
at least as much as i am able
