Oh Stop The Lonely Calling
When the hurt crushes
all of your soul
When it grabs you and squeezes
and burns you like coal
It runs how it pleases
with force and control
And then
You kneel when you dare
And suffocate
You may
As dirt under the bushes
Is more than appears
So aching still seizes
And holds you with fears
When all that you see is
Is no longer here
Oh my heart beware
When
Tears evaporate
Away and
Though darkness is endured
you pray
That time refreshes as you sleep
How you want to feel secure
today
How you yearn to feel release
When the answers are obscure
You say
How you wish that you could see
When your ways are so unsure
And sway
You long for something you can keep
Oh stop the lonely calling
Will you
Scream among the trees?
Sad expressions and deep wailing
that
leap among the breeze
And when
treasures of snow are falling
And the leaves have lost their way
How the mocking bird keeps
squalling
In the dawn
another day
