Letra Hedged in darkness Matthew E. White

Hedged in darkness

The trees are hedged in darkness
And the sun is tucked below
A sky who proves its blackness
By the grain of my shadow
Dear Judy, do we know
The meaning of patience and of love?
Can a river know the meaning
Of patience and of love before it hits the ocean?
Oh Judy, the waiting is ferocious

Oh the lord’s faces shine upon you
Like the breezes you are free
And your grace has grown like the kudzu vines
That swallow all the trees
You are the coolest summer shadow
You are the gentle southern reach
The finest vine you’ve made yourself Judy
Dear Judy a fine vine you’ve made yourself
And when the jungle grew around me I was helpless
And if I couldn’t breath, ‘twas only ‘cause I was breathless

Oh what I’d do to have you here with me
Oh what I’d do to have you here with me all night long

Hold me close I’m coming home to you baby
Only time, tears us apart, and what is time really made of? A flash of light
Hold me close I’m coming home to you baby, alright
Before the sun is beaten
Overtaken by the moon
Right when the summer’s heat is lifting
And the afternoon has cooled
When the violet spears of light
Are shooting bravely at the sky
When the human engine’s cooling
When time is passing by a little slower
Oh Judy, the waiting is ferocious
