Out of the blue (you came)

By I.M. Ulysses

Out of the blue
An angel came
And put back together
A heart still in pain

The pieces were scatted
Unto the four winds
Tattered and ripped
By the burdens within

But you patiently knit them
One piece at a time
And made whole again
A hope once denied

How do I repay you
What price do you want
For risking your life
When I have but naught

All that I was
I am now again
Complete but alone
In this land I remain

I miss you I want you
You did this to me
And life's hard enough
Without you to see

Her prisoner no more
You paid the price full
That had been required
By my captors bill

She no longer haunts me
Her memories are gone
Your courage and love
Have undone her wrongs

I'm yours to be taken
If you'll but believe
In the promise I made
As we parted this eve

I didn't expect this
I thought I was done
Until you arrived
And brought back the sun

Somehow you unlocked
The chains that had bound
The captive I was
A man lost now found

Free once again
There's no going back
The prison's been breached
By your heart's attack

I'm so overwhlemed
By the feelings inside
That it's hard to imagine
You're not at my side

My sweet little angel
Who dispelled the pain
Like a bolt from the blue
Darling, I'm so glad you came.

For Mary.
