Joe Henry - Reckless Child lyrics

Won't you come and lay with we let your easy laugh undo what has risen up to leave the hole that I have fallen through. Take the pieces in your hand and let the shadows cover you, tell it so I'll understand I'll never ask you if it's true. I started where the river bends and cuts the hills clean in two, I looked across where all the men who dream of falling so often do. When faith grows cold und leaves you to raise the reckless child that is your fear maybe then I can repay the time you've kept beside me here. You'll go your way, as angels do one day I'll raise up from my bed, and if I never hear another word from you I'll remember that too as something you once said. Until that day come stay with me let the shadows cover you tell it so I'll understand I'll never ask you if it's true — I've never much cared what was true.
