And suddenly it's five AM   After the songs and conversation   And what a holy night it's been   The mystery and revelation   And now I'm lying here alone   Swimming in sleepy contemplation   The music ringing in my bones   The scenes replay now as they will      The stories flowed and fingers fell   Along the strings that bind my memory   You seemed to see my sorrow well   And recognized a heart run empty   And now I'm watching for the light   A tired but dedicated sentry   I couldn't ask more of the night   Except to make it longer still      A song can soothe the savage breast   Or it can make a soldier heartless   But it's the song I love the best   That shines into the deepest darkness   And even when your strings were still   Your warmth and kindness left my heart blessed   My empty cup has been refilled   You have been music to me
