all that reckoning, pt. 1

Singer: cowboy junkies

i once slept

with my arms around you

my legs once bound you

and i'd wake with my heart so full of you

and then i found

that this bed was poison

that my life was frozen

and i lay afraid of ever touching you

i took my heart and lay it on the floor

you took my hand and softly asked for more

i once felt

that keeping it sealed inside

would free me from the fear i hide

of ever losing you

and then i found

that the blooming

all that reckoning

has lead me back to you

i took my heart and lay it on the floor

you took my hand and softly asked for more

now i sleep

with my arms around

my limbs become you

and i wake with my heart so full of you
