Psalm Of The Cherubim Lyrics - The New York Room

in amongst the beautiful 

morning veil of white light 

in a moments passing 

when we were both so young 

in-between the empty spaces 

of the unseen, unspoken, undone 

intertwined with the mysteries 

of the defied, defined, decided 

innocence coiled inside shadows of doubt 

intervals of silence and screams that cry out 

my god, what have I become 

cherub, teach me how to fly again 

teach me the hymns that the clarions play 

write down the words to the psalms they say 

see me through this 

suddenly gone from the sky 

into the light blue horizon 

beyond that of what we know 

to be the limits end 

islands of secret hope go unseen 

gardens of reason wither and die 

in a moment of weakness 

we can behold, believe and belong 

in a moment of strength 

we can retreat, retrieve, release, repent 

my god, what have I become 

cherub, teach me how to fly again 

teach me the hymns that the clarions play 

write down the words to the psalms they say 

see me through this 

show me the way
