Laying down bricks and mortar and blistering my hands
Building houses and huts on foundations of sand
Winter Storms are arriving and I need a shelter to stand
Searched for a steadier place but there are no rocks in this land.
How you gave your home to hold me
How I said so coldly
It's not what I need
December is coming
Here I sleep with nothing
Winds and waters rushing
Rising from the sea
Shaking Shuddering walls that support my abode
Built on my strength alone i still pray they will hold
Trying to maintain this illusion that I am still in control
Still the hardest of things at this time is just to let go
This Unrequited Love Unfailing, Unrequited Love
You gave your son to us
Yet still we think we have enough
Unrequited Love Unfailing, Unrequited Love
You gave yourself to us
Why do we hate instead of love
I've been trying to hold you tighter
I
Wind and waters rising higher
I
