You Are My Defense - Christa Wells

I feel the clouds coming over like a bad dream

Same shadows I've known since I was 18

Weeks before winter falls

You'll find me in the back hall hiding

I feel the sunshine slip away

And I don't know how to climb out of this valley

I don't want to go back where I've been

But every time you've laid yourself beside me

Your love my one defense

You are my defense

You carve the stone with evidence of your love

Strike a match to warm us when the cold comes

And I will sing of summer light that feeds the soul through the dark night

Will you feed my soul through the night

And I don't know how to climb out of this valley

I don't want to go back where I've been

But every time you've laid yourself beside me

Your love my one defense

You are my defense

When I'm a ship out in the sea

You are you are the lighthouse calling me

And when I feel unreachable

You get to me you get to me

And I don't know how to climb out of this valley

I don't want to go back where I've been

But every time you've laid yourself beside me

But every time you've laid yourself beside me

Your love my one defense

You are my defense
