Walking out alone
The night fits like a stone inside a boot heel
Hot and cold winds blow
And no one is here to know the way I feel


The corner I once knew brings me in to view again
So I could stay out late, find new bones to break
But then I'd be dragging home admitting


I am because You are I am
I recognize clearly I see
I am because You are I am
I am in You and You are in me


Spent too many days
Devising many ways trying to escape you
Played too many roles
Dug too many holes just big enough to fall in to


And I could linger here, hoping to disappear in excuses
Come morning is shining face I'd be crawling
to the place I call home
Where first you cut me loose and


I am because You are I am
I recognize clearly I see
I am because You are I am
I am in You and You are in me


The places that I've carried You,
I wouldn't take a dog
Stop and calmly think of that
Tear this church down to it's cornerstone
And build it up again, build me up again.


I am because You are I am
I recognize clearly I see
I am because You are I am
I am in You and You are in me
