The Edge of Water

Jars Of Clay · The Eleventh Hour [2002]

Have you ever been haunted

The way I've been by you

And have you ever felt the measure of the days that I've spent waiting,

Pining for you



I can't see the sun for the daylight

I can't feel your breath for the wind

I don't want to step from these shadows

Til you're coming back again



I've dammed the emotions

To keep my lanterns lit

I'm shaken by this longing

That courses through my veins

In my mind I can't make sense of it



I can't see the sun for the daylight

I can't feel your breath for the wind

I get so used to these shadows

Are you coming back again



Do we give up the search

And turn out the light?

And give up this holy ghost that

Rattles through the night?



I can't see the sun for the daylight

I can't feel your breath for the wind

I don't want to step from these shadows

Til you come back again

I can't see the sun for the daylight

I can't feel your breath for the wind

I get so used to these shadows

Will you chase away these shadows

When you come back again

When come back again...

when come back again...

when come back again... (repeat to fade)
