redemption
lyrics and music by Penelope Houston


there's a heart that breaks
almost every single day
I call you, you've locked yourself away
now I recognize the man
I reach out and touch your hand
and wash away the years gone astray

I left the light burning through the night
out on the patio
and all my fires and desires are burning inside
your rusty prizes in the rain
lie out on the patio
like a blessing, like a gift, I'm your second chance

you made your happiness depend
on those broken needle ends
and lovers no riverbed could hold
but today the sun will rise
and bring the light back to your eyes
take my hand now, you're ready to know

redemption walk through me
redemption come to me
redemption walk through me
redemption come to me

all the moments that you kill
you say were strengthening your will
but lies and bitter ashes pave your road
the love that we had sown
is reborn inside your bones
and wedding weeds between the pavement grow

redemption walk through me
redemption come to me
redemption walk through me
redemption come to me
redemption walk through me
redemption come to me
redemption walk through me
redemption come to me
redemption
redemption
redemption
