cover me

cover me in the richness of soul
in highest hopes or deepest woe
in empty darkness, in heaven's glow
full of wonder, filled with hope

cover me here and now
beneath blue skies, behind the plough
over yonder, above a cloud
beyond forever, inside a sound

cover me for it is true
love is blind, love is cruel
love is fine, love is blue
love is master, love is you

cover me where i roam
where mountains climb and rivers bow
where fate decides the ebb and flow
where worlds collide and love is born

cover me under words and dirt
tall tales, soft whispers, songs of hurt
under broken dreams and prayers unheard
forgotten sins, the forgiving earth
