Beloved

[Verse 1] Austere enthroned in white grandeur But tired a shift A whisper of where you sailed ahead From your eyes I'd never seen you unkempt before As you whispered "Darling close the door" Well how, have I not made a note of every word You ever said Time, is not on our side But I pretend that it's alright She says the Lord has a plan But admits it's pretty hard to understand [Refrain] Before you leave you must know you are beloved And before you leave, remember I was with you [Verse 2] Are you afraid How ever could you not be In this rosy light This is strange I feel a hand come through the mirror Pointing at the light Pointing at the light we never see As you put your feathered arms over me [Refrain] Before you leave you must know you are beloved And before you leave remember I was with you And as you leave I won't hold you back beloved [Bridge] You sit And talk the stars down from the sky Down there, forget the chaos in your eyes love [Refrain] And as you leave you must know you are beloved And as you leave I can see the wild has come for you And as you leave I won't hold you back beloved And as you leave see my children playing at your feet
