Heavens Hold the Sun

Long time, no sound, long years, waiting and waiting
 I hear it now, too loud, too strange to ignore
 I'll watch that road, my heart steady as a snare drum
 When you get here, I'm gonna meet you
 Like the ocean meets the shore
 Don't hang that head, you know it's nothing I ain't seen before
 Bring me your trash, your love as messy as a plum
 Bring me your weight, your shame and the devil on your shoulder
 When you get here, I'm gonna hold you
 Like the heavens hold the sun
 It's done, now here you come, smelling of the struggle
 I've worn that face before and it always leaves a stain
 Broke down screen door, don't bother with the bell
 When you get here, I'm gonna greet you
 Like the desert greets the rain
