Album: Truest Things
I have been a stranger in this land so long
I don't see the sky until it's falling
Traded you for treasure, now the treasure's gone
I can't remember what you used to call me
Could there be any room in your house for me
could I learn to belong to you
could there be any heart in this hollow tree
say I am yours again
every night I listen to the mockingbird
she and I behold the dark descending
I guess we find a comfort in the lack of words
in knowing that somewhere the dawn is winning
Chorus
I will be a servant, be your hired hand
I will eat what's fallen from the table
If I knock on your door will you let me in
will you let me in if you are able
you saw me on the road from a long way off
I suspect that you were always watching
waiting for your little girl to come unlost
and you run to me instead of walking
I believe there's a room in your house for me
I will learn to belong to you
my heart beats with the blood of a living tree
oh I am yours again
