He Came To Meet Me

He came to meet me
 On some July morning
 He said he'd missed me
 He came without warning
 We walked for half the day
 Got lost in my neighborhood
 Came back another way
 Just like I knew we would
 When he came to meet me
 He had some stories
 He knew a few of mine
 I had not heard his voice
 For such a long time
 My mind would race a bit
 Come back to where we stood
 I could not keep hold of it
 Although I knew I should
 When he came to meet me
 I'd seen this whole day
 Like it was drawing near
 Sometimes I'd pray for it
 Sometimes I'd shake with fear
 Sometimes the only thought
 That kept me in the night
 Was one that I forgot
 In summer's blinding light
 When he came to meet me
 I wrote myself a song
 I could not speak what I'd done
 He could have been here all along
 He could have been anyone
 But there is no one who
 Could wake my heart like this
 Could break my world in two
 I felt a suddenness
 I felt a suddenness
 The day fell completely still
 The dream was a lot like this
 But I never knew until
 He came to meet me
