Holy Ground

~music: GC's Holy Ground

 

When the future looms on with you gone

Out will come the dark that is huge and torn

And~ if you go away, I will leave here too~

Nothing else will be on my mind

As the lights go by~

In this quiet town, beneath the peaceful moon

 

I need nothing else, since on that day

I've~ realized that my love and hate

Would~ always be in here filling up~ inside me

Can I~ live til the~ end

Knowing full well I'll never feel love's desire~ again?

 

Broken are all those times of short-term happiness~

And now, they will just turn~ into emptiness?

This old dying body of mine no longer may~

Cling to joys that did follow on with health before~ yesterday

 

(Refrain)

Simple was the yearning I held, no more did I mind~

But the~ days just slipped into Oblivion's Well of time

And if existence is allowable

I'll keep on dreaming dreams~ that will not live long

If only today should end

 

Try to reach the Holy Ground, and in my heart I know

The only way to fill an empty place is give it all your own, oh~/~

The passion that's sadly lost a place to go

Oh yea, only grows into cold

 

While I'm heading home, and on the road

All these feelings that I claim to own

Will they all fall away, leaving me all alone?

Protecting you~ no~ more

Now I've nothing to offer you

Who'll I be praying for?

 

O may a light that's gentle fill this world~, someday

May its warmth enter in our hearts and~/~ stay

Can we really hide the fact that all will freeze

Through the hopeless hopes of all who speak this~ empty wish?

 

(Refrain)

Maybe some day, all the things that drove~ me to love

Will~/~ wash away the wounds that are too deep for words

And if tomorrow will roll  by like dying tides

And next day also comes

I am willing to fall on the gentler side

 

If the time comes when you're strong enough to walk around

Will you not forget the way towards th'eternal Holy Ground?

Oh~/~, a hollow soul that has lost a  placeto go

Oh yea, someday will rise again

Out on the sea where the waves go rocking on~

Oh yea, will always live~/~ a~gain
