Sanctity - Rick Miller

I lay in the forest at night\nBy the brook and the old willow tree\nI dream of the joy we shared\nIn my heart to my love and me\nI can’t live without you she said\nAs her tears fell to the sea\nMy heart belongs to another now\nBut I need your sanctity\nMy love for you is a part of me now\nIt’s a force that I cannot control\nI know you’re gone\nBut my hearts searches on\nFor the dreams that I will not forgo\nI can’t live without you she said\nAs her tears fell to the sea\nMy heart belongs to another now\nBut I need your sanctity\nAnd God knows we reap as we sow\nThe life you’ve lead\nHas left me not alive and not yet dead\nI’m paying the price for you now\nMy Angel of pain\nFive years of heartaches and tears\nTold me one thing I already knew\nThe fire in your eyes was a clever disguise\nHow do I carry on without you?\nI reach for the rope an knot\nAs it hangs from the old willow tree\nI sway in the evening breeze\nAs I dream of my love and me
