Are You There - Aoife O'Donovan

Where are you?

Are you there?

Where are you?

Are you there?

Are you waiting at the golden stair?

Can I be, can I be free?

Will I be, am I soon to be free?

Do you remember you loving me?

In my quiet time

I pray with you, I pray with you

Deep in my heart

Where every word I ever dreamed

Is cross-stitched on my pillow

Now, I lay me down to sleep

Beneath the weeping willow

Will you, you carry me?

Will you, will you carry me again?

Will you wrap me in your arms

Like you did way back then?

Hold me, hold me tight

Show me the cheek by the firelight

I’ll know it’s you by touch and sound and sight

I’ll walk and run, peek in each room

Look in, where have you gone?

Where should I go?

When every doorway leads to nowhere

I am lost and broken

Come for me and take me home

And crack my heart wide open

(Who is there?)

I look out

(Who is there?)

All looks the same

But a mirror holds no claim

(Who is there?)

Who’s standing here?

(Who is there?)

In the shadows

Will he stay or will he run?

I give him what he wants

Where should I, where should I be?

Who’s taken my life

Are they looking for me?
