lyrics

Within the winter library,
There's snow on my diary,
And a bookcase overturned;
The histories I've burned-
If I thought you could find me
I'd hide beneath the light
Of what I've lost and what I've learned.

Death runs in the weather-
There's sleet on the heather,
There's ice upon the brass.
Tonight I'll drop a glass;
I'll pray it falls together;
I'll pray the fallen centuries will pass

I forgot the words to Mass-
Did I see you cast a last glance
At the Cross?
God of Loss

I keep the pages open,
It's the story that's broken,
The decades choking
On butcher kings
Making graveyards sing
With the weight of the dead
And their tongue of lead
And all their hopes unspoken

I hear your name and again we
Go to war for a memory
And the memory slips away;
My mind begins to play
On all those kinds words you'd send me
And it's killing me
To see you today

Do you ever feel that way?
When the names you knew
Are buried under frost?
God of loss

Evening falls, but the bells don't ring.
Symbol is the marriage
Of every broken thing;
Is there no safety you can give me
When the Word is not with me
And all my thoughts begin to sting?

Outside, the wind is beating
And winter comes creeping
But the dark is never nearer;
The truth could not be clearer:
God is a mother weeping,
Weeping, God is a mother,
Can't you hear her?

I lost the world today.
Do I turn and pray to every coin I toss?
God of Loss
