I Will Bleed For You
Verse 1
Shift ends for stars and fear.
New sun will soon be here.
Tingling toes, numb fingers.
Four A.M. chill lingers.
Night monsters, drenched in light
Start to fade, lose their might.
Clean slate skies; solid blue.
I think of you.
Chorus
As you walk through
All the barbed wire
Of the day
Look away, love
And I will bleed for you.
And if your eyes become jaded, lose their spark,
I'll re-kindle them with my own fire.
Verse 2
Shift ends for daydreams dear.
Moon's solace nearly here.
Treasured songs wash away
The tarnish of the day.
Cascading memories fight,
Keeping me from the night.
Warm pictures to cling to
I think of you.
Chorus
As you walk through
All the barbed wire
Of the day
Look away, love
And I will bleed for you.
And if your eyes become jaded, lose their spark,
I'll re-kindle them with my un-fading fire.
Bridge
Through every year,
Through every tear
Just know this:
I'll be gentle and strong
Let me come along
I will bleed for you.
Shift ends for stars and fear.
And I pray
Hope's sunrise will brighten
Every day.
Chorus
As you walk through
All the barbed wire
I'll be there too.
Close your eyes or
Look away, love
And I will bleed;
Bleed for you.
