Take More Than You Need - Denison Witmer

Wait with me for just a while

When the water in me dries

Stay with me all afternoon

When the spirit in me moves

If you’re lying awake

With a lifetime to go

And the thoughts that you take with you

Take more than you know

There… where you build your house of prayer

Thoughts that tangle in your hair

While the world around you stares

If you’re lying awake

With my hands on your waist

Wondering what you can take from me

Take more than you need

I’m not long for this world, baby

So much just fell miles behind me

I don’t long for this world baby

Half a life fell miles behind me
