Sweet Control

I didn’t see it coming, no wind, No flame Just the hush of your presence Whispering my name No sudden spark, no flash of light Just the Silence turning soft and right You didn’t shout, You didn’t chase But time bent gently inside your Grace Like autumn air beneath a sigh You moved through me and passed me by That Sweet control like velvet rain Falling Slow where I hide my pain Not a storm, Not a tidal wave Just a pull too warm To turn away Sweet Control, Control Soft and sure, taking hold You walk Like a rhythm never taught Every step is a Line I forgot I thought And I lean into the Sway Not knowing where, but not afraid Sweet Control like wine at dusk Settling slow in the Soul I trust You didn’t ask, you didn’t Try Still you turned my no to why Sweet Control, sweet Control Mm, Let it flow It’s not the fire that burns Me fast But the ember that decides to last Not the chains that bind or bruise But the Voice I never want to lose You touched the Strings I never played Woke a song I thought Had gone away And in your silence, I hear more Than thunder pounding at my Door Sweet control, so light, so deep You Move the parts I swore to keep Like a Dream I once let slip away Come back to Me in light and sway No need to speak, no need to stay Your Presence lingers anyway Mm
