Lyrics Closing, On A Roof - Acoustic Demo - Julia Brown

On a roof, wind blows through me
And the moon is a cruel reminder
That we both tried
To find something inside
That we thought had died
Fear divides you and I
We both hide from what we feel inside
In your room, I fall through you
You know I tried to find something inside
That could make this alright
On the way to your house I see a light
Pulling me back up into the sky

I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold
I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me
I am weary with my crying out
My throat is parched
My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God
More in number than the hairs of my head are
Those who hate me without cause
Mighty are those who would destroy me
Those who attack me with lies
What I did not steal must I now restore?
Oh God, you know my folly
The wrongs I have done are not hidden from you
Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me
Oh Lord, God of hosts
Let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me
For it is for your sake that I have borne reproach
That dishonor has covered my face
I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother's sons
For zeal for your house has consumed me

[Death comes to claim
What its loved the most
You know I've loved
This world too much
When death comes to claim
What I've loved the most
You'll know I've loved
This world so much]
