The Ground We Stand On - Hawksley Workman

It’s so cold here and I miss you

And I can’t help feeling broken

I treat myself like I’m not fragile

Like there’s no care to be taken

And I was up last night just thinking

A hundred reasons to be sorry

Why don’t you come and lay beside me

Since there’s too much now that’s vacant

And all the time that we keep wasting

Like we don’t know the joy that’s harder to bear

For the ground that we stand on

Won’t long be there

I pray that we will never tire

Of the work that lies before us

I feel that I will be the weak one

And that you will have to carry me

I hope there never is a phone call

To say it’s too dark to keep trying

I hope there’s time left to discover

How to cry at all the beauty

And all the time that we keep wasting

Like we don’t know the pain we’re called to bear

For the ground that we stand on

Won’t long be there

And all the time that we keep wasting

Like we don’t know it’s why we stop and stare

At the ground that we stand on

'Cause it won’t long be there

I guess it’s me there in the mirror

But I can’t say that I know him

When you tell me that you love me

There’s no reason I should doubt you
