Within Without from trust. by Katie O'Connor

Well the wind it howls within without
Night after night I wait
Right by the hearth
'Tween my heart and yours
As your ghost does beckon in

Well the kindling splits memories clap
And all at once come rushing back
With the weight of all a womans' heart can hold
Of the time we spent in lovers chains
And of words so wished unspoke
And of tears that don't have anywhere to run

But what if they run oh what if we need a little more
What if I don't know if I love you anymore
Well if you're long gone to me now is it time for moving on
What if we run oh what if we don't
Lover I oh what have I done
Oh what have I done

Well the rain and all the spirits pour
Weathered by nights crusade
Like shorelines you breathe cross floorboards to reach
For truth for home for me

Well in truth my dear there's no home here
It's been hollowed out by time
Oh the truth oh I, I never could define
But I'd gladly give what's left of me
Though terrified I'll try
For better or worse
From health to hearse
Your ghost my anchor be

Oh what if we run oh what if we need a little more
What if I don't know if I love you anymore
Well if you're long gone to me now is it time for moving on
What if we run oh what if we don't
Lover I
Oh what if we run oh what if we tried again
Darling I won't be loving for two
Do you understand
But what if I can't help loving you though I'm lonely in the end
What if we run Oh what if we don't
Lover I
Oh what have I done
Oh what have I done
Oh what have I done
Oh what have I done

Well the wind it howls unearthly now
Sure and still you're my saving grace
For the ghost of you it soothes the ghost of me
As the night ticks back fado fado
And our shadows take the floor
And right by the hearth 'tween wind and rivers
We dance amid the storm

Oh wont you sing so sweetly to me now
Like a dream that time could not allow
Where my love just like the wind abounds over you
Oh wont you sing so sweetly to me now
Like a dream that time could not allow
Where my love just like the wind abounds over you

Oh wont you sing
Just like a dream
Just like the wind
Oh wont you sing
Oh wont you sing
Just like a dream
Just like the wind
Oh wont you sing
I want you

Well the rain in falls in every note
Pit patters and pangs my pane
With curtains pulled enclasped enclosed
As dawn does beckon in
