Sweet Waterfall

I wish you loved him
If only you did
I could tell you so many things
And you could be wrapped
In that holy peace
That you just cannot know
Unless you do

I prayed for you tonight
In this dark cloister
With candles and drafts
Of cold, cold spirits
And I had nothing
But this ragged shift
And haggard tears
For you

You've lost too much
And weathered too more
And it's all been such a waste
Beautiful waste
Of cold coffee
And flannel
And dreams from which you rose
You woke up
Too soon

And I can't bring anything
More than lifeless platitude
You won't hear me
Please hear me
It isn't all my vision
Without impugn in the day
It is not pious dreams
In the cloister in the night
It is all you need to live
But you are dead

O' come to life
Sweet waterfall
Sweet spring of years and years
You left me with joy and tears
And happiness less hope
But it was a joy
A good long moment
But it is a sorrow
A long, long lament
And all I can beg of you
Is hear, there is more

Just give up. 
You've heard the Gospel.
Please. You need the hope. 
You've wandered so long.
Solace, Forgiveness, Refuge, Hope.
Forgiveness for all the unforgivable things you've done.
It's all right here. Just listen.
