Soul Savior

Soul Savior

I never dreamed when we first met
and I saw your perfect face
That we'd be here, our lives entwined
our hearts in love's embrace

Until our lives became as one
my own did not exist
The night grew long, the years passed by
no meaning to persist

I saw you there in day's gray hue
rains freedom from the night
Your chocolate eyes that dared to see
my secrets in the light

You didn't run or hide from me
my dark black soul-less eyes
You chose to stay and challenge fate
and saw right through my lies

Your mind a secret, thoughts unknown
my useless powers wrong
You woke me up and made me see
what I'd searched for so long

Your heart beats fast when I am near
if mine could sing for you
What I would give to breathe your air
there's nothing I can do

My life was taken long ago
my soul lost on the way
I will not let you give yours up
there's nothing you can say

I would not ask you for your life,
for you to pay the toll
But instead of losing everything
you've helped me find my soul

And now we dance forever changed
my stone heart still beats true
with rain or sun at heaven's gates
I'll be there next to you.
