I Have Called You - Michael Patrick Kelly

You look like your mother and yet

He who sees you sees the father

You hold me in honor

And you treat me like no other

If I drown in water you’re the rescue

My safe harbor

If I burn in fire you’re my flood

My desire

I have called you

I have called you

By your name;

you are mine

I have called you

You’re solace in sorrow

Yesterday, now and tomorrow

The rubbish you swallow

Is the price that you pay

For my trouble

You keep your promise even when

I’m dishonest

And tell me I’m precious

Though I can be so wreckless

I have called you

I have called you

By your name;

you are mine

I have called you

Oh, I’m fallin' fallin' fallin'

Yes I’m fallin' once again

But you’re callin' callin' callin'

Out my name

Oh, one by one I empty

I empty all my fears

Written in the palms of your hands

Are my tears

Huuu, huuu

I have called you

I have called you

I have called you

I have called you

By your name;

you are mine

I have called you
