Love Alone

So I was talking with a friend last night about if you could pick the top 5 Caedmon's Songs what would they bed....I think Lead of Love stays in the top 5 because it has been so instemental in my life. I have been listening to this one over and over again today and think that it is currently in my top 5. I think Aaron Tate, Derek Webb and Sandra McCracken are some of my fav song writers.

Love Alone

Lyrics:

No one would love me
if they knew all the things I hide
My words fall to the floor
As tears drip through the telephone line

And the hands I've seen raised to the sky
Not waving but drowning all this time
I’ll try to build an ark that they need
To float to you upon the crystal sea

Give me your hand to hold
‘Cause I can’t stand to love alone
And love alone is not enough to hold us up
We’ve got to touch your robe
So swing your robe down low
Swing your robe down low

The prince of despair’s been beaten
But the loser still fights
Death’s on a long leash
Stealing my friends to the night

And everyone cries for the innocent
You say to love the guilty too
And I’m surrounded by suffering and sickness
So I’m working tearing back the roof

And the pain of the world is burden
And it’s my cross to bear
And I stumble under all the weight
I know you’re Simon standing there
And I know you’re standing there
