crossin' over to my lover

i'm crossen' over that bridge i gotta get to the other side
i gotta see my lover when the darkness covers
the brightness of the sky

for every one step that i take i'm taken two in the back of my mind
your tenderness and carin' when we getten' down to sharen
all the kindness that you find

i wanna love and i have to live
but you know that i wanna die
it seemed kinda funny when you left me honey
now i feel like i'm gonna cry

cry salty tears that fall down
and echo along the shore
i'm crossen' over alone , since you been gone
i need to be with you once more

once more i'll cross my heart and i'll never tell you no lies
i tell ya true when i met you was the love of my life
all my life i been lookin' for ya then you say ya gotta go
since you said goodbye all i do is try to hear you say hello

but my cup runneth over with words that are just to hard to say
i wanna take you inside to the place i hide
where the world won't get in the way

i'm crossen' over that bridge gotta live
gonna find out who i am
when i set myself free if you let me
be a holy whole true man .
