Verse Her face turns to a threshold only she can see
Seeking to escape from her heredity
Unfamiliar ‘cause she’s halfway there
Of my presence fully unaware
Longing for the coming mystery
Chorus And then I touch her, lay hands upon her, kiss her forehead
While she calls out loud for her mother and her sister
All her loved ones she can see right now but not reach
Verse My name is spoken in her ear, she turns to see
Her sightless eyes declare that she remembers me
She beckons me again to make her laugh
Will it help her to discern her path?
Her crooked hand feels warm and velvety
Chorus And then I touch her, lay hands upon her, kiss her forehead
While she calls out loud for her mother and her sister
All her loved ones she can see right now but not reach
Bridge Aye Eee Aye Eee Hearing
Aye Eee Aye Eee Seeing
Aye Eee Aye Eee Calling
Aye Eee Aye Eee Longing
Verse A kiss transported us into a light-filled space
She smiled into my soul in a familiar way
Our smiles reflected what our hearts could see
Her delight in just beholding me
Just a moment to be bathed in grace
Chorus And then I touch her, lay hands upon her, kiss her forehead
While she calls out loud for her mother and her sister
All her loved ones she can see right now but not reach
Bridge Aye Eee Aye Eee Hearing
Aye Eee Aye Eee Seeing
Aye Eee Aye Eee Calling
Aye Eee Aye Eee Longing
