G
Something keeps me awake
Em
Something outside is stirring
C
Through the dark and over the grass
D
The rabbits and snakes are concurring
G                                      Em
They sing in the soil and bones rattle loud
Em
They cry out as this they do see
C
Someone in those walls is suffering proud
D
For you are worth every ache within me
G                              Em
I don't hear music, don't hear anything
C                   D
I see dirt I see cement
G
What a troubled world it is when
Em
You're outside arm's length
   C                             D
It pulls out its teeth in dry irreverence
G                        Em
Come and find me on this floor
Em
I'm only a half truth betold
C
Take away all the distance and say
      D
"My beloved now I'm here and now you are whole"
G                                 Em
If I turn to see your eyes in the dark
Em
I will know the blue in an instant
C
Never have they gone so far
         C
Or never has your face been distant
G                                          Em
My life I will give you like a verse and a ring
Em
I will be your only one
C                              D
And what you ask of me will be yours until all is said and done
G                               Em
Your heart's a song that I hear Jesus sing
C                       D
It comes over oceans to me
        G                           Em
And the notes spell out messages in vibrant streams
           C                     D
And what's written you show only me
G                                        Em
But if you can't close up all the gaps tonight
Em                    C
Put me to bed in your ways
C                                  D
You see right through everything I am
D
For you my insides are displayed
G                             Em
Sing me to sleep my beautiful one
Em                           C
I will love only you for all time
C                        D
Sing me to sleep my only one
D
With promises that you are all mine
G                              Em
Be still my heart, I hear your back cracking
   C                    D
It sounds like music to me
G                         Em
I see your face and I can hardly breath
C                            D
It looks just like a song to me
