I stand in the House of Ages
Life flows in rivers around me
I will lie on this bed for dreamers
Open my arms in the dark
You are marked here on my skin
See how love's strains
Will not wash away
Songs are prayers for reaching you
Calling you home
When the world is cold
I see when I close my eyes
The spirit of you fills this whole room
I will lie on this bed now flaming
Open my arms in the dark
There is no meaning
Unless I keep a light burning
See it shine within me
To heal my injuries
There is no meaning
Unless you lay your hands on me
Lift me up gently
And kiss my injuries
You are marked here on my skin
See how love's strains
Will not wash away
Songs are prayers for reaching you
Calling you home
When the world is cold
I wait as you walk towards me
All that was past now will come here
See this bed, what remains are ashes
But you are beside me again
There is no meaning
Unless I keep a light burning
See it shine within me
To heal my injuries
There is no meaning
Unless you lay your hands on me
Lift me up gently
And kiss my injuries
