lyrics

Last night in the wee small hours
I met a man who wasn't there
I saw a face flashing by me window
And disappear in the cold thin air
He was a man on a wayward journey
Maybe lost along the way
He wasn't there
Standing in my doorway
He wasn't there again today

He never said what I heard so clearly
No sound from the voice I heard
He couldn't stay for the want of leaving
He wouldn't leave for the call of the road
He never came but he entered boldly
No shame or 'by your leave'
Such fire that I felt so coldly
He didn't go when I heard him leave

I tried but I could not call out
I tried but I couldn't move
I couldn't lift my head or cry out
Wasn't anything I could do
I called to the guardian angels
Let light cover me
Keep me from harm and danger
Send love to set this one free

There is love, there is peace
But not where you are
Not where you are
there is love, there is release
But not where you are
Not where you are
Move on

These nights in the lonely hours
I cry in misery
Calling out for a breath of freedom
My longing washes over me
So did you hear on your wayward journey
Another one driven to despair
Another soul on a similar journey
Another heart with a heavy care

For love we live in longing
For love we die in vain
For love we do the wrong thing
For love make it right again
So as one friend unto another
Go on and leave it here
Go on and forgive your brother
Go on and let it go right now....
