Meter And Verse

I carry my mistakes
 And she carries them too
 When all I see are bruises black
 She shows me the blue

 I remember the tears in the morning
 The dread of the veil gently falling to the floor

 I'll never know divinity
 So inadequately I carve
 In meter and verse
 She believes in God
 But I believe in her

 When my ship has run it's course
 She steers me back out to the sea
 She won't let me run aground

 I've seen the storms she's met, I've seen the tears in secret shed
 She sees me as an eagle though I am just a crow
 She sees me as a diamond though I'm just a weathered stone

 I'll never know divinity, so inadequately I carve
 In meter and verse
 She believes in God, but I believe in her

 I stole a glimpse of you in pain
 And I'll take the image to my grave
 You look towards the heavens, and I look up to you
 I kneel because there are no words, an act will have to do

 She believes in God but I believe in...
 ...no divinity
 So inadequately I carve
 In meter and verse
 She believes in God, but I believe in her.
