Matthew E. White - Hedged In Darkness lyrics

The trees are hedged in darkness And the sun is tucked below A sky who proves its blackness By the grain of my shadow Dear Judy, do we know The meaning of patience and of love? Can a river know the meaning Of patience and of love before it hits the ocean? Oh Judy, the waiting is ferocious Oh the lord’s faces shine upon you Like the breezes you are free And your grace has grown like the kudzu vines That swallow all the trees You are the coolest summer shadow You are the gentle southern reach The finest vine you’ve made yourself Judy Dear Judy a fine vine you’ve made yourself And when the jungle grew around me I was helpless And if I couldn’t breath, ‘twas only ‘cause I was breathless Oh what I’d do to have you here with me Oh what I’d do to have you here with me all night long Hold me close I’m coming home to you baby Only time, tears us apart, and what is time really made of? A flash of light Hold me close I’m coming home to you baby, alright Before the sun is beaten Overtaken by the moon Right when the summer’s heat is lifting And the afternoon has cooled When the violet spears of light Are shooting bravely at the sky When the human engine’s cooling When time is passing by a little slower Oh Judy, the waiting is ferocious
