You are still burning

The flame that is turning

My smoldering ash into a bird

So stay close, my brother

I couldn't stand the loss

You are the bridge of action

I need you to help me cross

I need you to help me

Chorus:

So when you break

My arms I'll take hold of you

I know your heart's

A hand that takes hold of me

My hand that is breaking

Is the hand that is making

All the dead things in me grow

A gift of a holy loss

This burning at the dross

Chorus

So when you break

My arms I'll take hold of you

I know your heart's

A hand that takes hold of me

Bridge

Why do you set out to break the one thing

The one thing that I have to give

It's hard to believe that I could

That I should begin again

But I know your heart is a hand

So when I break

Your arms you'll take hold of me

You know my heart's

A hand that takes hold of you

So when you break

My arms I'll take hold of you

I know your heart's

A hand that takes hold of me

So when you break

My arms I'll take hold of you

I know your heart's

A hand that takes hold of me
