New Moon Over Swift Water

If you wrote a book defacing my name

And you wrote a volume disregarding my words

If you used your pen to bring harm to my world

If you thrust your pen through my heart or my eyesI'll tell you what I'd do back to you:chorus:

I would look through this ink to a blank page

And burn a prayer for your happiness and well being

A prayer that you may one day find a new pen

With which you could write words of encouragement and praiseI have tried, oh have I tried

I have prayed to you allThis scene is taken from a play

That would come to be known as our lives:chorus:I have tried, oh have I tried

I have prayed to you allThis scene is taken from a play

That would come to be known as our lives
