I was broken by the power
I was swallowed by the need
I was hiding in the corner
When a voice called to me
He understood my mystery
Soothed the wounds of my despair
With his grace he tenderly
Brushed the tangles from my hair
I'm feeling better by the hour
I think I just might be okay
Though bridges burn and ashes shower
Think I can live with what remains
As I sorted through the wreckage
Sitting in my silent fast
On my bed of hard-earned ashes
Still repenting for my past
My body ached and shook with anger
As I walked through narrow gates
And I left those walls behind me
And with them my mistakes
I'm feeling better by the hour
I think I just might be okay
Though bridges burn and ashes shower
Think I can live with what remains
There he is on his way, new shoes on his feet
Bands start playing, and the dance floor's daring us to meet
Glances fleeting, violins weeping, shadows sweeping in the glow
How can you tell just what you feel? It's much too soon to know
Chorus:
We'd be rolling, but we'd be holding out until dark
Until the next time, you and me, so sweetly in my heart
In my heart
No tomorrow can we borrow, another hour for you
Lights go out, but eager eyes have promised to be true
(Chorus)
It's tomorrow, our ships embark if fortune favors me
We two dancers in the dark, so close your eyes and see
(Chorus)
In my heart...
I was swallowed by the need
I was hiding in the corner
When a voice called to me
He understood my mystery
Soothed the wounds of my despair
With his grace he tenderly
Brushed the tangles from my hair
I'm feeling better by the hour
I think I just might be okay
Though bridges burn and ashes shower
Think I can live with what remains
As I sorted through the wreckage
Sitting in my silent fast
On my bed of hard-earned ashes
Still repenting for my past
My body ached and shook with anger
As I walked through narrow gates
And I left those walls behind me
And with them my mistakes
I'm feeling better by the hour
I think I just might be okay
Though bridges burn and ashes shower
Think I can live with what remains
There he is on his way, new shoes on his feet
Bands start playing, and the dance floor's daring us to meet
Glances fleeting, violins weeping, shadows sweeping in the glow
How can you tell just what you feel? It's much too soon to know
Chorus:
We'd be rolling, but we'd be holding out until dark
Until the next time, you and me, so sweetly in my heart
In my heart
No tomorrow can we borrow, another hour for you
Lights go out, but eager eyes have promised to be true
(Chorus)
It's tomorrow, our ships embark if fortune favors me
We two dancers in the dark, so close your eyes and see
(Chorus)
In my heart...
