I stumble and I fall, your time is on my side

Don’t make sense of it all, despite my foolish pride

It’s got me on my knees, tearin’ up my heart

I’m shakin’ at my bones, tearin’ me apart

When I can’t get close to you

I come undone, I come undone

Come undone, babe, I come undone

Time will take its toll, time can break your heart

And if I had the chance, we’d never have to part

Took my only flame, took my one desire

Threw it all away when jumping in the fire

I can’t get close to you

I come undone, come undone

Come undone, babe, I come undone

When the day is done I lay me down to rest

Everyone will see that I loved you the best

When all is said and done here simple and explain

And if I have the chance I’ll do it all again

But I can’t get close to you

I come undone, I come undone

Come undone, babe, I come undone

I’m not scared of the dark though you tangle and tease me

But worse than your bark you said you’d never leave me

The devil make everybody, don’t please believe me

Oh love of my life, won’t you let me down easy?

Undone, I come undone

Come undone, babe, I come undone

I come undone, I come undone

Come undone, babe, I come undone

So when we meet as strangers, when even friends look like strangers, it is good to remember that we need each other greatly you and I, more than much of the time we dare to imagine, more than more of the time we dare to admit …

– Frederick Buechner – The Hungering Dark

Life is grace. Sleep is forgiveness. The night absolves. Darkness wipes the slate clean, not spotless to be sure, but clean enough for another day’s chalking.
