I filled my days with all that tasted sweet
Seeing only what I dared to meet
Said stones were there to step on, not to turn
Too full of dreaming to learn

I worked my will and fingers to the bone
Forging shapes that I could call my own
And thought that I had found some magic touch—
I'd turn nothing into much

You were all I had
You let me lie in the corner of your eye
Safe and sound from danger
In everything I tried
When darkness filled my
Days, you willed me back on my way
And saw me home

In days now filled with all things bittersweet
And spent in wondering where to place my feet
The stones I used before still play their part
Weighing heavy on my heart

You are all I have
You let me lie in the corner of your eye
Safe and sound from danger
In everything I try
When darkness fills my
Days, you will me back on my way
And see me home

At my own beck and call—
Oh, how brightly I shone
While you were gone
