Caedmon's Call - Love Along 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 And not waving but drowning all this time I'll try to build the 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 rope down low Swing Your rope down low The prince of despairs been beaten Lord But the loser still fights d**h's on a long leash Stealing my friends to the night And everyone cries for innocent You say to love the guilty too And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness So I'm working tearing back the roof 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 rope down low Swing Your rope down low And the pain of the world is a 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 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 rope down low Swing Your rope down low
