Lyrics A Cross To Bear - Iain Matthews

I died one night when the sky was a blanket of stars
And you sounded as clear to me then as I'd heard you in years
As I lowered my eyes understanding the news that I'd heard
You just turned away taking your smile and those crippling words

Then you blew from my life like the southern wind stealing a flame
'Til all I had left were the tears at the drop of your name
And I know I'm just blinding myself into thinking you care
Maybe one day I'll rush in and discover you there

Love is an anchor
Love is a knife
Love is the healer in my liife

And I know that it seems like sometimes I howl at the moon
But it's something that happens when loneliness steps in the room
Though I know I'm just fooling myself in this sorry affair
One night I'll awake from a dream and uncover you there

Chorus

Though I know I'm just hurting myse1f it's a cross I can bear
Cause I died one night when the sky was a ribbon of stars and you
Were there
