Joe Henry - Holy War lyrics

Perhaps it is fitting The sky heavy and spitting at the ground The sun hid above us With a grip on my breath it had found I'd let it out slow as you stood to go And it rose high just as I slipped down Then I whispered your name Knowing well you would not turn around We stand at the door Like the holy make war Both of us sure we are right We move through it unseen For the darkness between us But I mean to leave on the light I want to let go of All I think I know of how Our story unwinds And might turn back to find us somehow We've both turned away When wisdom would say We've squandered forgiveness and time And all they would allow If I could offer both of us mine We stand at the door Like the holy make war Both of us sure we are right We move through it unseen For the darkness between us But I mean to leave on the light What held us together Lay like a feather in my hand Not enough weight now for flight Or the freedom to land We each take from the other Now struggle is all that we share It's less than I am And more than I think I can bear We stand at the door Like the holy make war Both of us sure we are right We move through it unseen For the darkness between us But I mean to leave on the light But I mean to leave on the light
