Deal Breaker
by Sara Groves

Album: What Makes It Through

Hey can you picture us on the other side
With detritus and wreckage far and wide
Are we crossing over no man's land
Are we patting backs and shaking hands
I always thought with you and me
Though it's not on paper
There would never be
A deal breaker

We're both deciding what we can abide
Holding our tongues and speaking our minds
We're living out our daily liturgies
Praying-in our different dreams

I always thought with you and me
Though it's not on paper
There would never be
A deal breaker

And there's grief like a black bird
Ever present in the sky
And I can feel all our distance
And the hidden reasons why
But some days I can see us
And we're soft and reconciled

Last night I dreamt we walked the riverbed
Listened closely for what's not been said
Last night I dreamt of jubilee
New beginnings as far as the eye can see
