![]() That’s What Brings Me Back To You By: Noah Eaton 9/7/05 . . . . . ...is any one of you sick... ...is your faith a candle in the wind... ...is there any pillar on your porch, that can hold you up in this moment of brokenness... ...I know that it never feels right... ...you don’t have to bleed yourself dry... ...may I take the liberty... ...in taking your suffering and griefs, and make them mine tonight... . . . . . ...and it’s you that still rocks the cradle... ...and it’s your warmth I feel in the blue of the moon... ...that’s what brings me back to you... ![]() . . . . . ...when you’re waiting for the parting of the fog... ...when two rights only seem to make it wrong... ...when you want to sing but you can’t remember any song... ...you’re always invited to tag along... . . . . ...the shivering of your hands... ...the sweat pouring from your glands... ...I can understand... ...we are all patients... ...in constant need of help... . . . . . . ...and it’s you that still rocks the cradle... ...and it’s your warmth I feel in the blue of the moon... ...that’s what brings me back to you... . . . . . . ![]() . . . . . . you’re the warmth... ...in all these tears I’ve cried... ...may I take your suffering and griefs, and make them mine tonight... . . . …you’re the warmth... ...in all these tears I’ve cried... I’ll uphold you, with my righteous right hand, tonight... . . . . . . . . ...you’re the warmth... ...in all these tears I’ve cried... ...I’ll help you find a chord in your mind, that you can recite... . . . ...you’re the warmth... ...in all these tears I’ve cried... ...you’re what keep them burning bright... . . . ![]() . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...it’s you that still rocks the cradle... ...and it’s your warmth I feel in the blue of the moon... ...and that’s what brings me back to you... ![]() . . . . . . .

"...when you want to sing but you can’t remember any song..." Oh, Noah, you do have a way with words that touches so deeply. You, provide the words and the music through your poetry and your songs. You truly are an earth angel. Love you! Your friend, Linda |
