Sanctuary

from Nightstands by Stevie Subrizi

/

lyrics

I attended services
about a month after you left
they were singing that song I once heard you sing about a sanctuary

I wept uncontrollably
needless to say
I was thinking about you singing about being a sanctuary

oh, prepare me to be a sanctuary
oh, prepare me to be a sanctuary

now, I could sing about you
the time we spent in your room
and sure enough, there with you, there was a sanctuary

but it's not a song about loss
or wanting some love back
it's a song about the love you give when you make yourself a sanctuary

oh, prepare me to be a sanctuary
oh, prepare me to be a sanctuary

my love is profane
because it's all in your name
but I would like to prepare to be a sanctuary

oh, prepare me to be a sanctuary
oh, prepare me to be a sanctuary
