The dust has settled
The crowd has gone.
Deep in this silence
I have to move on.
No good reason
To let go too fast.
The future must carry
Days from  the past.

CHORUS:
I bow my head 
And close my eyes.
You are there.
We join our hearts
In Common Prayer.


I feel your presence
The room's filled with light.
It goes without saying
You're with me tonight.
I may be dreaming
But who really knows
I'll ride this feeling
As far as it goes.

CHORUS

Your name's still mentioned
Your friends still call.
The hurt has been lessened
They've broken my fall.
God, how I miss you
We've both paid a price.
We can't walk into
That same river twice.

CHORUS
