Darrell Scott - Where The Spirit Meets The Bone lyrics

Last night I asked to see you, needing to apologize And the woundings there were deep, I could see it in your eyes And we spoke of softer days since the hard ones we had known And a healing peace was slow but sure in coming- where the spirit meets the bone And I reached for my compa**ion and I held you through the tears And a river did flow freely that had blocked us all those years And we looked with eyes forgiven at the wild seeds we had sown Some had grown to love while we had just grown weary- where the spirit meets the bone Oh, the nights being lost in the smell of your hair Oh, the lines we had crossed, heart-to-heart, everywhere From a bed in Amsterdam to a boat in Windermere In silence or in song or the whisper in your ear And it comes as no surprise; we could love again, again Both co-stars in this movie; but, we cannot change the end No, the director's up in heaven and he never checks his phone We're frozen in this scene called, “Someone's Leaving” -where the spirit meets the bone Oh, the times being lost in the touch of your skin Oh, the lines we have crossed; I would cross them all again From a cool lake in New Hampshire to a field in Tennessee You always made it known- you had saved the best for me Now, in this clear, ironic moment, it is not lost on me We're both locked in separate airplanes six miles above the sea You on your way to California and me to parts unknown Both looking for a love that's ours for keeping Where the spirit meets the bone
