No Wonder

<br>Are these your arms across your chest?<br>Is that your face turned from me?<br>Are these your legs drawn between us?<br>Is this you?<br>No wonder<br><br>Is this my voice, pleading, broken, bitter?<br>Is this my mouth filled with sand?<br>Are these my hands inert and heavy?<br>Is this me?<br>No wonder<br><br>I have never been here before<br>I had no idea<br>The chill you seem to know your way around<br><br>With a white-knuckle grip on the center of your soul<br>I have the same grip on your heart<br>Sometimes when the words fail<br>And the silence bleeds into the snow<br>I wonder<br>I wonder which of us will be the first to let go<br>Which of us will be the first to let go<br><br>And I say listen to the rain<br>listen to the fall<br>listen to the voice<br>listen to the trees<br>listen to the call<br>listen to the sun<br>listen to the wind<br>listen to the way<br>listen to the dream<br>The shout`s begun to whisper<br>Listen to me, listen to me, listen to your heart<br>The truth is speaking softly there<br>And I am almost beyond caring<br>And I can only breathe<br>And I can only watch you be yourself<br>And you can only do the same<br><br>No wonder...<br>No wonder...<br>No wonder.
