The Cave

I am so alone, I can’t feel—I am alone
I can’t see you anymore—please do not go
I’m so lonely I could die—I’m so sick of myself
I’m so sorry for my sins—I am so low
I can’t be the one you need—I am alone

I can’t look up, I’m down—’neath the weight of glory

The wind blows me around—blasting thru my spine
It's revealed the truth to me—I've fooled myself

So come into me—thru the ruby red door

I will be the one you love—thru grace divine
You will be mine—through grace divine
You are mine

Alone in my cave
Rescue me from the pain
I am alone

Jerusalem

Our love is barren, our love is wasted 

Our love has gone through, transformation

Your spirit’s flown—But I’m left here, with your body

Sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem.

Beautiful (are) the coverings draped over you

Put on those beautiful garments so true

Living and loving now, it’s a matter of pain

Haunted by the memory, of love’s past refrain

Stand up or sit down I’m left here, holding your crown

Sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem.

Beautiful (are) the coverings draped over you

Put on those beautiful garments so true

Far from leaving you I’m needing you—around 

But you’ve transcended to holier ground

And I’m left here—holding your sandals and gown

Sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem.

Beautiful (are) the coverings draped over you

Put on those beautiful garments so true

Death Has Come Upon Our Love

My life is breaking down—the darkness falls

My love is breaking down—it can’t hold on

The vampires want more of me until I can’t see a way out of here

Your voice is breaking down—is our love gone?

I’m lost and so tired —I can’t go on

Have we now parted?—the broken ones, we live now in fear

I want you now

I need here,

With me

My hope is breaking down—the darkness comes

I’m plunged into that night—my doubts have won

Death has come upon our love—I’m without fear

My tree is breaking down—the roots are gone

What more could I have done to keep it strong

Through death and decay a new love will rise from out of here

I want you now

I need here,

With me

Rock (day)

Now I-- don't know where I am going or where I want to go
I don’t have the answers to those questions
But I do know...

With you my rock is set
With you my rock is set

Your eyes, have betrayed many things to me
They see right through me they see right into me
Why can’t you see that...

With you my rock is set
With you my rock is set

The night has overtaken me
I can’t see through it, I can’t see you or me
But I will be free…cause

With you my rock is set
With you my rock is set

What I know can’t hurt you,
What I know you can’t find.
What I know can’t hurt you baby
But I know you are mine (but what I know is mine)

The dawn has broken over me
Reborn from darkness into eternity
Never to dim, cause

With you my rock is set
With you my rock is set

Cedars of Lebanon

The Cedars of Lebanon have fallen to the ground

The tables are broken, hewn without hands

Why were you not faithful, while I was in the mount?

The Cedars of Lebanon have fallen to the ground

Come back to me

My baby

Come back

Come back to me

Oh darlin’ where have you gone?

The stars are fallen from your vacant eyes

That angel who came down from heav’n above

My darlin’ angel, where are you now?

Come back to me

My baby

Come back

Come back to me

The sun refuses to give her light

The moon is darkened on me tonight

Why am I not written in your heart?

The sun refuses to give us light

Come back to me

My baby

Come back

Come back to me

You are a satellite in orbit round my heart 

Black clouds have gathered upon my mind

I can feel their weight holding me down

Come break these chains that fast bind me down

Come back to me

My baby

Come back

Come back to me
