CALL YOU BY NAME
Here is a thing with nothing to say
Mountains won’t stand in your way
You like to walk as if troubles are behind you
They’ll never find you as long as you hide
Out! You’ll miss the rain
Standing with forehead on windowpane
Come out! Bring us your shame
We won’t let you flounder, we’ll call you by name
You with the sun dripping over your face
Nobody knows where you’ve been
Your arms open wide; greeting strangers like family
Nobody knows all the places you’ve sinned
Why there goes the rain!
Standing with forehead on windowpane
Come out! Bring us your shame
We won’t leave you lonely, we’ll call you by name
Oh how I love all the places that shine in you
Let me dine in you and displace myself
Sinking entwined let me forget what binds me to
Sit inside of you and forsake myself
Here is the thing that I’ve wanted to say:
Darkness won’t stand in your way!
You hold me now as if nothing will ever break
All that flowers here in your heart
There I go again!
Bleeding and beating on windowpane
Crying out: “Here is my shame.
Don’t leave me here lonely. I’ve called you by name”
There is no sound when the rivers stop flowing
Its only hope that turns bread into wine
I have no words when the winter floods out of you
… never once did I think you would cry.
