You are the flame
You are the match
You never ask for
Anything back

It’s your final breath
Used to say
Thought I go
Be not afraid

Be not afraid

That’s love
That’s love
That’s love
And it carries us

Floods without
Fires within
May drown my lungs
And scorch my skin

Though the tides of time
May drain away
The shape of you
Will stay with me

You’ll stay with me

Chorus

(Break)

It’s the cooling rain
On the face
Of the criminal
And the saint

It’s the dirty slate
That’s wiped clean
By the patient hand
That’s never seen

It’s never seen

Chorus

Let it carry us
Let it carry us
