In this time of unknowns know that I care for you Though the earth shakes and moans know I’ll be there for you When the lightning breaks over your head know there’s a hiding place and I’ll meet you there Where your heart has no rest I’ll be your slumber When your mind has no peace I’ll be your comfort When the nightmares chase you out of your sleep I’ll put my arms around you—pull you close to me I wait My love never fades When the fever won’t break I’ll be beside you When the lights go out my hand will guide you So don’t be afraid of the things that you see I am always with you, and you are with me I wait My love never fades

Love Is 03:07
Love is a call when you least expect it soaking it up till we’re disconnected Love is the plant that you watered while I was away Love is a song that reminds me of you only Love is the sun cradles you when you’re lonely for me—when I can’t be with you so far away And now that I’ve found you you’re the dream I keep every day even when I’m away I’ve found you Love is a promise I keep with you daily No I’m not perfect but I’m yours to the grave Love is the family that you and I have made Love is the calm when I turn on our street and love is the sigh of you falling asleep next to me while I’m telling you I missed you so far away And now that I’ve found you You’re the dream I keep every day Even when I’m away I’ve found you In eucalyptus light you know I’m caught in waking dreaming with you What you and I go through in and out of years an awe still waits

Signs are down they’re down across the city fallen in some storm swept through in the night Well the weathermen didn’t see it coming what all the women said they felt in their bones and sirens went off around midnight but I couldn’t hear a thing through my headphones Ladadadadada America, the names are torn off of your streets With what we’ve left can we still make some kind of peace Well all the newscasters didn’t see it coming what all the women said they felt in the bones and the sirens woke the world up at midnight but we couldn’t see a thing through our cell phones Ladadadadada
5.
It’s so scary to keep all your secrets to never tell anyone what you hold inside And it can feel daunting to look out your windows and think that anyone to pass by might hurt you You can run—you can hide but you’re better with someone to love in this life Your secrets divide you a crack down the middle You think if you told them they’d spit in your face And maybe they would, dear they may never understand you but you have to draw close, dear for the spit or the grace You can run—you can hide but you’re better with someone to love in this life
6.
In all of my travels the hardest part is getting up to leave knowing you’ll be left behind me and tomorrow is a future I can’t see Just tell me you want it and I will stay right here You’ve got to get up out of this house, boy And maybe I’m not seeing clearly Don’t circle back we’ve made this choice together I’m feeling like I’m alone here on the edge You’re never alone Then tell me what happens if I fall from this ledge That’s where we’re going (Let me hear you say) I’ll be there for you baby I’ll be there for you baby Whatever you need you can count on me I’ll be there for you In the middle of our days It can be so easy to forget And I’m sorry for all the sunsets On all the ways I didn’t show I love you yet Won’t it be so nice When I see you face to face And with something so right I will set my heart on The day I will hold you Hold you in my arms I’ll be there for you baby I’ll be there for you baby Whatever you need You can count on me I’ll be there for you

You told me once—just dreaming the sky above is no ceiling You see the stars and I see the clouds but you and I both have our reasons You and I started somewhere along the coast with no borders holding back our hopes Breathe in, breathe out— know I want you most In this new land we’ll make our home The coastline in June muted grey but the blooms all come out in their time And the love I risked I ran out like a kite line— never scared to come loose Why do we pay such close attention to our doubts and our second thoughts while the seabirds roll over waves— whipped and wind-tossed— making homes where the waves crash You and I started somewhere along the coast with no borders holding back our hopes Breathe in, breathe out— know I want you most In this new land we’ll make our home You asked me once—just dreaming and drew me out through the evening I see your stars and you see my clouds And you and I both have our reasons
8.
Seek & Find 03:50
When I seek you will I find you always waiting ever like you were before? I’m never patient for liberation always caught up in something like I was before Your tenderness keeps calling me reminding me—you’re all I need Your faithfulness keeps loving me reminding me—you’re all I need When I need you will I find you always hiding ever like you were before There is no patience in desperation I’m sick and tired of being like I was before Ask and it will be given I am yearning for your attention Seek and you will find God you always know what’s on my mind Knock and it will be opened windows lit and fever broken

Valencia 03:30
Pasé un tiempo en Valencia donde nadie conoce de mí El invierno y su playa triste caminando en la arena sin ti In the subway Tracy Chapman sang of fast cars from the pipes with you across the Mediterranean thinking I could see you in evening light And we were full of love Shut the noise out of the city Walking with some music of my own Darling for you I’ll make a mixtape With the songs inside our future home All so full of love Love is simple but not easy Just ask the children and the wise I couldn’t write it all in a letter Maybe that’s why God gives us time
10.
Mercy 02:36
I can only say what I’ve been through baby whether thistles or the storm and in the darkest shade of the night there is a joy And I’m acquainted with it oh the darkness and the night and I can get lost in it But no matter how far I go it’s your mercy brings me home I need your mercy every day I need your mercy on the way Through the thick and thin I say I need your mercy And I couldn’t help but think that the villain was deserving of the harm that befell him and his whole family But when I looked in the mirror and saw the daggers in my eyes I wonder how you ever put up with me I can only say that I’m sorry and that I still need your love unconditional And when I lose my way I will listen for your voice
11.
Other Side 03:53
Sometimes while I’m awake at night I pace across the floor humming something softly and I linger at your door and think about what you must be dreaming on the other side If I don’t live long enough to meet your little kids will you tell them stories about all the things we did Will I leave something good on the other side When I turn the lights out there’s a moon to guide my path fingers trace the walls and lines to rest by you at last reach across feel you breathing on the other side Nights when I move closer you’ve a reflex to my warmth some kindness in unconsciousness that sleeps inside my arms but I roll away to my dreaming on the other side roll away to my dreaming on the other side roll away to my dreaming on the other side

about

These songs and the process of drawing them out were a gift of consolation to me, and I hope they are to you.
