John Mark McMillan
Wilderlove (The Mercury Sessions)
[Verse 1: John Mark McMillan]
Plumbed the badlands as a child
Where the dust devils dance
On the dreams of the ivy wild
[Pre-Chorus: John Mark McMillan]
The places you grow up
The tumbling ground is rough
And there is no domestic heart
Then what have we become: just pedestrian?
There is no domestic heart
[Chorus 1: John Mark McMillan & Joy Williams]
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we reckon with it, and we wrestle with it
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we wrestle with it, and we wrestle with it
[Interlude]
[Verse 2: Joy Williams]
You are the wilderness and I fall fast drawn
To the rise of your vast expanse
I feel so underdressed so civilized and small
By the powers that you possess
[Pre-Chorus: John Mark McMillan & Joy Williams]
The places you grow up
The tumbling ground is rough
There is no domestic heart
Then what have we become: just pedestrian?
There is no domestic heart
[Chorus 2: John Mark McMillan & Joy Williams]
And the Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we wrestle with it, and we wrestle with it
And the Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we wrestle with it, and we wrestle with it
And the Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we wrestle with it, and we wrestle with it
And the Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we wrestle with it, and we wrestle with it
[Interlude]
[Verse 1: John Mark McMillan]
Plumbed the badlands as a child
Where the dust devils dance
On the dreams of the ivy wild
[Chorus 1: John Mark McMillan & Joy Williams]
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we reckon with it, and we wrestle with it
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we wrestle with it, and we wrestle with it
