Whatever Remains by Rose Polenzani Lyrics
Come kneel by the river
In your smock of red
I'm falling all over
My old friend
You visit these waters
On the wings of a dream
And I'll wait ‘til the morning
As a test of your will
To deny your dangerâ€"â€"
That cannot be smart
But how can I live with what I desire
Without breaking your heart?
How I am devoted
How I am callen
To wait on your answer
Even as I am fallen
To the passing eye
I've been known to fly
It's a matter of breath
And life, and death
And riding the will of the sky
My love is an anchor
That sinks in your sound
Oh, feed me to the water
Oh, give me to the ground
Oh, render my lover
Delivered from shame
As I have no harbor
And a desperate name
Oh, tear me asunder
And break all my chains
And leave me to anchor
Whatever remains
In your smock of red
I'm falling all over
My old friend
You visit these waters
On the wings of a dream
And I'll wait ‘til the morning
As a test of your will
To deny your dangerâ€"â€"
That cannot be smart
But how can I live with what I desire
Without breaking your heart?
How I am devoted
How I am callen
To wait on your answer
Even as I am fallen
To the passing eye
I've been known to fly
It's a matter of breath
And life, and death
And riding the will of the sky
My love is an anchor
That sinks in your sound
Oh, feed me to the water
Oh, give me to the ground
Oh, render my lover
Delivered from shame
As I have no harbor
And a desperate name
Oh, tear me asunder
And break all my chains
And leave me to anchor
Whatever remains
