Ian Matthews A Cross To Bear
I died one night when the sky was a blanket of stars
And you sounded as clear to me then as I'd heard you in
years
As I lowered my eyes understanding the news that I'd
heard
You just turned away taking your smile and those
crippling words
Then you blew from my life like the southern wind
stealing a flame
'Til all I had left were the tears at the drop of your
name
And I know I'm just blinding myself into thinking you
care
Maybe one day I'll rush in and discover you there
Love is an anchor
Love is a knife
Love is the healer in my life
And I know that it seems like sometimes I howl at the
moon
But it's something that happens when loneliness steps
in the room
Though I know I'm just fooling myself in this sorry
affair
One night I'll awake from a dream and uncover you there
Love is an anchor
Love is a knife
Love is the healer in my life
Though I know I'm just hurting myse1f it's a cross I
can bear
Cause I died one night when the sky was a ribbon of
stars and you
were there
