Lyrics for Song: Ruins
Lyrics for Album: Yes I Am [1993]
Don't try to call, there are some bridges that burn
Beyond recognition, beyond repair
Don't say you've changed, there are some forces that turn
Beyond recollection, beyond my stare
When I feel the cold in the dark, I know you're there
Long ago I was a woman in pain
A woman in need, I ran to you
Long ago I did not understand
You were making me bleed, I ran to you
When I feel the cold in the dark, I know what you do
I will crawl through my past
Over stones, blood and glass in the ruins
Reaching under the fence
As I try to make sense in the ruins
I know your heart has held its own fear
It's perfectly clear what they did to you
But in my heart, it's the screaming I hear
I won't let them come near since my love knew you
When I feel the cold in the dark, I remember you
I will crawl through my past
Over stones, blood and glass in the ruins
Reaching under the fence
As I try to make sense in the ruins
Night after night, I am carving it out
I will carry it down to the waterside
Night after night, I am hearing the sound
Of wings that come beating, I will not hide
When I feel the cold in the dark, I will know why
I will crawl through my past
Over stones, blood and glass in the ruins
Reaching under the fence
As I try to make sense in the ruins
But if I am to heal, I must first learn to feel in the ruins
I will crawl, I will crawl, I will crawl, crawl
