When the Enemies Close InCopyright 03.30.2011 Jonathan Reuel (original version 03.3.2010 Jonathan Reuel)
G Am C G-Am-C
-The next six months are like the blind and the bends
G Am C G-Am-C
-I don’t mind planning for beginnings and ends
G Am C G-Am-C
-But I won’t sit here while it all falls apart
G Am C G -Am-C
-I’d rather follow you right into the darkness
Em D G
-- You never lose those you’ve chosen
Em D G
-- And I can trust you when the enemies close in
G Am C G-Am-C
- It’s time to pack away my crutches and canes
G Am C G- Am-C
-The cheap escapes and the mostly harmless games
G Am C G-Am-C
- My last tattoo was an invisible stain
G Am C G - Am- C
- I’m climbing up above the clatter and the careless use of the petty claims
G-D-Em-C
G D
I fall, I can not stand
Em C
In the depths of your love, in your gentle hands
G D
Your way has become my home
Em C
Your love has become my boat in this sea of sorrow
G D
Higher and deeper and wider and stronger is this love
Em
That has now become my life overflowing, a great river rising
C
To carry me
G D
Into your light like a bright, golden, sight-clearing, heart-rending hope
Em
That will not disappoint All the ones who will come from the shadows to give you
C
All they are
G-Am,-C G-Am,-C
Simply, -------- simply
G Am C G-Am-C
-The next six months are like a lost campaign
G Am C G- Am-C
-A great last stand or maybe something that you can’t explain
G Am C G - Am - C
-But I won’t try to hide my pride or my fear
G Am C G - Am - C
-I’d rather tell you while the coast’s still clear
