14 - And Are You Sleeping

And are you sleeping still my love?
<br>The sun is on the rise
<br>A gentle west wind lifts the leaves
<br>And songbirds fill the skies
<br>
<br>I closed my eyes in sorrow, love
<br>My heart as cold as stone
<br>And thought, as darkness covered me
<br>That I would lie alone
<br>
<br>But you were not alone my love
<br>Your weariness was mine
<br>I brought a light into the dark
<br>That you might see it shine
<br>
<br>I close my eyes in weariness
<br>I close my eyes in pain
<br>And never thought I should be called
<br>To open them again
<br>
<br>I too endured the deadly cold
<br>That chilled us to the bone
<br>That I might warm the sepulcher
<br>And roll away the stone, ooh, ooh
<br>
<br>Awaken now to life my love
<br>Arise, alive and free
<br>Shake off the sleep of death my love
<br>And come away with me
<br>
<br>And she has risen from her bed
<br>And held her arms out wide
<br>And touched his wounded hands and heart
<br>And gone to be his bride
