Lately you’ve been all blue sky
And I’ve been rain
I don’t mean to bust up your party
With all of my pain

But sometimes my shadows surround me
And you take me in your arms and say

It’s the way we mend
We tear it all down and we’ll start it again
And I don’t know how but you find me where we begin
And that’s just the way, the way that we mend

It’s just that some voices remind me
I’m not strong enough
To put all my demons behind me
And carry this love

But just like an angel of mercy
You take me by my hand and say

They’re pouring out
From my mouth
So many words all spoken wrong
But you come alive
And somehow I find my way

Behind the Song:
“I can’t pretend to know what makes certain marriages easy and others difficult, but I am certain that one of the healthiest things in my relationship with my wife is how we heal and how we so often ask for forgiveness. I need forgiveness most every day and so does she. When we stop seeking that from each other, it seems that we tend to stop seeking each other at all. I’ve only been with my wife for 4 years now, but I’m beginning to see that there is indeed something holy and eternal about true penitence.” - Bebo Norman
