I can't always nail it down
   like I'd like to say I can
   And I don't always have it here
   like I'd like to think I do
  
   And it's been very long, my dear
   since I've held it close to me
   I have wanted for so long
   to be among the scattered few
  
   CHORUS:
   And the night is mostly deeper than I want for it to be
   The rain is often harder in the dark
   I'm often closer to the answer than I think I am
   Cause I'm usually just about to fall apart
  
   I've given up on feelings now
   You know they tear me up too much
   But even now I'm feeling out
   these thoughts out on this page
  
   My God, you are the only thing
   I know is farther down
   a suffering companion
   Even to the end of the age
  
   BRIDGE:
   And I cry, No. No. I don't want this desert anymore
   I said, No. No. I want a Rock of water, Fountain
   Evermore
  
   Peace I leave with you
   My peace I give to you
   Not as this world gives
   do I give to you
   Let not your heart be troubled but believe
   Let not your heart be fearful but believe
