David Wilcox Words Alone Lyrics

Words Alone Lyrics

Words Alone

David Wilcox



When I'm afraid of dying ashamed

Of never doing what I'm here for.

I'm afraid being afraid

and wasting precious time.



I'm afraid growing so cold

and closing off the love inside me

I'm afraid of just getting old

And never getting wise



(chorus)

Here tonight a storm of another kind

Where's the light I have known

I have known

Your lightning strikes born of another time

Across these years you have shown

By your words alone

By your words alone

By your words alone



I don't even know how it starts

too much fretting and forgetting.

Something switches off in my heart

and leaves me to my mind



So I'm reaching for your words in the dark

to bring you here to shine your wisdom

and all it takes is one sudden spark

to leave this fear behind



(chorus)



You blaze this sacred trail I find



(chorus)
