A Love Song (Sister Song) – The Patience of Fisherman

Inspiration

I started thinking about this lyric on the way back from Heathrow airport one January morning early. A friend of mine said ‘All I want is more of God’ there was a hunger in him which I thought was really precious. Sometimes though that kind of hunger is not matched with courage, so nothing comes of it. 

This song is based very much on ‘The Song of Songs’

There are many allusions to various parts of that Bible passage.

I am always meditating on the intimacy that God longs to have with us, if we dare accept him, and allow all that beauty and kindness in. You’ll never know til’ you try.

I think I don’t want to interfere with the song for you by. 

I thank my friend Anna for laying hands on me and praying that God would inspire me. 

It’s my daughter-in-law’s favourite.

Lyrics

Come with me my darling
The winter days are over
The turtle dove begins to sing again
Flowers grow within my heart 

Where all was dry and barren
Hold me ‘til the night time shadows fly x 2

All I want is more of you
My heart is sick with longing
Hold me ‘til
The day begins to breathe
I am lost without you
I seek and cannot find you
Sisters help me find my love again x 2

Oh what a feeling
Floating in your arms
Dancing through this endless space and time
If I could only stay here
Warm in your embrace
Turning in the sunlight and the breezes
Turning in the sunlight and the air
