I Am

Walking out alone

The night fits like a stone inside a boot heel

Hot and cold winds blow

And no oneís here to know the way I feel

The corner I once knew brings me in to view again

So I could stay out late, find new bones to break

But then Iíd be dragging home admitting

I am because You are I am

I recognize clearly I see

I am because You are I am

I am in You and You are in me

Spent too many days devising many ways trying to escape you

Played too many roles

Dug too many holes just big enough to fall in to

And I could linger here, hoping to disappear in excuses

Come morningís shining face Iíd be crawling to the place I call home Where first you cut me loose and The places that Iíve carried You, I wouldnít take a dog

Stop and calmly think of that

Tear this church down to itís cornerstone

And build it up again, build me up again.
