I carry my mistakes,
And she carries them too
When all I see are bruises black,
She shows me the blue
I remember the tears in the morning,
The dread of the veil gently falling to the floor

I'll never know divinity,
So inadequately I write,
In meter and verse
She believes in God,
But I believe in her

When my ship has run it's course,
She steers me back out to the sea,
She won't let me run aground
I've seen the storms she's met,
I've seen the tears in secret shed

She sees me as an eagle,
Though I am just a crow
She sees me as a diamond,
Though I am just a weathered stone

I'll never know divinity,
So inadequately I write,
In meter and verse
She believes in God,
But I believe in her

I stole a glimpse of you in pain,
I'll take the image to my grave
You look towards the heavens,
And I look up to you,
I kneel because there are no words,
An act will have to do

She believes in God
But I believe in

No divinity,
So inadequately I write,
In meter and verse
She believes in God,
But I believe in her
