St. John's Hands (song lyrics)

I heard your silence through the hills
Beyond the violence of my will
I tried to hide from you 
But lied to you still

Said I'm better off alone
Found your letter in my home
Returned to sender like this poem
How do you feel?

I see you here
Inside my fear
Where the darkness dances
Dangerously Dear

I see your eyes
Calling me to hear
That echoing stillness
That brought us here

When I tasted turning fate
I built a stone wall with no gate
Still I found you waiting in the garden
Pouring water on my seeds

Did I tell you all my needs
What did it take you to believe
And break the shell upon my greed
I can see the currents that you breathe

I see you here
Inside my fear
Where the darkness dances
Dangerously Dear

I see your eyes
Calling me to hear
That echoing stillness
That brought us here

Into the fire fleeting light
Upon the salty sands of St. John's hands
Caught the poison bite beyond my sight
Drifted winter into glisten moonlight

Golden water carried harbor dreams
Where drunken teachers told of hollow Kings
We played paper drums on sweet stolen air
& I kissed your hidden stone inside my prayer

I see you here
Inside my fear
Where the darkness dances
Dangerously Dear

I see your eyes
Calling me to hear
That echoing stillness
That brought us here
