I just walked home through unfamiliar lands
I just walked home with my prayer in my hands
I felt the cold mingling with my skin
I wish that you were here and settled in
Take the cold off of me, and throw it away
Now I know you are the one meant to stay
New York was hungry, and New York was gray
You are the only one who i will pray for
If you asked me to pray
I put my eggs in a basket built with gold
A basket I found that was strong enough to hold me
I'll put my legs in a casket built with wood
If I have to stop living for your own good
I've been through floodwaters I've been through rain
You are the foundation long ago laid
When the part of my heart that held friends took a hit
You held me tight and helped me over it
I'll build my life on a pillar of sand
If that's what you want and I'll try to understand
Help me to love you when you are awake
Cause I can never sleep when I can't see your face
