[Verse 1]
Sit enthroned in white grandeur
But tired
And shift a wisp of wayward silver hair
From your eyes
I'd never seen you unkempt before
As you whisper, darling, close the door
Well, how have I not made a note of every word
You ever said?
Time is not on our side
But I pretend that it's alright
She says the Lord has a plan
But admits it's pretty hard to understand

[Chorus]
Before you leave, you must know you are beloved
And before you leave, remember I was with you

[Verse 2]
Are you afraid?
How ever could you not be?
In this rosy light
This is strange
I feel a hand come through the mirror
Pointing at the light
Pointing at the light we never see
As you put your feathered arms over me
[Chorus]
Before you leave, you must know you are beloved
And before you leave, remember I was with you
And as you leave, I won't hold you back beloved

[Bridge]
Will you sit
And talk the stars down from the sky?
Down there, forget the chaos in your eyes, love

[Chorus]
And as you leave, I won't hold you back beloved
And as you leave, I can see the wild has come for you
And as you leave, I won't hold you back beloved
And as you leave, see my children playing at your feet
