Throw a Blanket Over the Sun - Shannon Wright

He throws a blanket over the sun

He closes out everyone

While she prays,

«Don't let him take me

There must be a better way.»

You will come to me in a dream

Rifled up my sorrow

Oh just to ease my pain

And let it slay me

Oh let me suffocate

Oh, why must you leave

This lamb you wound remains

if only to see your face

I pray on my knees

Oh, why must you leave

This lamb you wound remains

If only to see your face

I’ve taken everything

Even the birds could not

Take the burden of her body’s plane

No wires held in place

Her body just could never mend

And let it take me

Oh, come take me instead

No love is here

No love is here

No love is here

No love is here

No love is here

No love is here

No love is here

No love is here

Oh, why must you leave?

This lamb you wound remains

If only to see your face

I pray on my knees

If only to see your face

This lamb you wound remains

I pray on my knees

You’ve taken everything
