Give me wings,
Give me peace.
These are the things that I need.
I'm tormented, broken and shamed
Are you listening? (Are you listening)?
Give me shelter from the storm,
I know it's a lot to ask for,
Considering how recent I've piled the dirt on your name.
Are you listening? (Are you listening)?
Are you listening?
I have heard that winter's cold
Will give way to summer's warmth
Oh no! Like salt in the snow
I'm melted and left all alone on the side of the road. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_classic_crime/salt_in_the_snow.html ]
In this where I am for your sake,
Stuck between sleep and awake?
My mind is dreaming of things.
Are you listening? (Are you listening)?
I took you for granted again
And threw you aside
And pretended for one minute that I had control of my life,
And direction it seemed to be in
I was wrong again, (I was wrong again),
Are you listening?
I have heard that winter's cold
Will give way to summer's warmth
Oh no! Like salt in the snow
I'm melted and left all alone on the side of the road.
I will wait for you to come again,
And I can't pretend like I'm confident
And I can't pretend like it makes much sense when it doesn't.
I have heard that winter's cold,
Will give way to summer's warmth.
Oh no! Like salt in the snow,
I'm melted and left all alone on the side of the road.
On the side of the road.
On the side of the road.
On the side of the road.
This song to me depicts the struggle we have with knowing if god is there. We desire to know god intimately, yet this world distracts us and we feel so distant from him at times. We cry out for him and at times it feels like he doesn't even care. Yet the truth is, we usually are to blame for the distance... We take god for granted and throw him on the back burner. We lose patients quickly and start down the wrong path and do not listen for the promptings that god gives us. But.. He will come again.. Just like summer comes from winters cold, god will always be with us even in the cold and eventually turn our mourning into singing! Our sorrow into joy.
