Eric Maust - Give Us Home Lyrics

The only thing I changed was her name
Her heart, her soul, were as rock to the whole
What I thought I'd break was brittle
And made shards like shot through my soul

I met her as a foal, now a mare
Thought through bridle and braid I'd win her
But it was not I that raised my bride
Instead, a restless, wild heart within her

Two-fold I feel, this pain inside
I've married a woman as stubborn as I
God above, give me grace
In the dawn of tattered lace
End our unrest and give us home

I threw ropes over a growing tree
Hoping to tie her down, so I'd know that I had won
Too late, too great, too strong to shape
I bent until she broke, and now she's gone

Two-fold I feel, this pain inside
I've married a woman as stubborn as I
God above, give me grace
In the dawn of tattered lace

As the darkening embers highlight
The beauty in the deepening lines
Resurrection in the roughness
Ever-giving Love forgive us
Lovers not of love and mercy
But of guarded hearts and grueling loans
Taking more than what is owed
End our unrest and give us home
