When you wake up too soon
'Cause slivers of the moon
Got under your skin
And walls are closing in
'Cause down in the city
Only God knows you're alone
When you feel there comes a time
When you are not mine
And I'm not yours
And hope itself ignores you
When the sigh you breathe
Is all you have that's yours to own
You were so early
You fit in my hand
Like a bird in a cup
Now when you grow up
Remember my face
Like a promise of grace
In this world, my child
You have a place
When God swings overhead
Like a body from a tree
Remember what I said
Don't break the thread
Just float down the river
That splits into you and me
'Cause slivers of the moon
Got under your skin
And walls are closing in
'Cause down in the city
Only God knows you're alone
When you feel there comes a time
When you are not mine
And I'm not yours
And hope itself ignores you
When the sigh you breathe
Is all you have that's yours to own
You were so early
You fit in my hand
Like a bird in a cup
Now when you grow up
Remember my face
Like a promise of grace
In this world, my child
You have a place
When God swings overhead
Like a body from a tree
Remember what I said
Don't break the thread
Just float down the river
That splits into you and me
