Ben Senterfit - Constant Night of Love Lyrics

It was a long night, it was a constant night of love
And I'm a cross between the captive and the one who stands above
It was a soft song, and I was crooning and soft and low
But I got nothing left to sing for since you've been gone below

And I'm frightened by the cross, I've been running my whole life away
I cast away my sin, but it keeps coming back again
I am a drifter, and I'll I try to drift across
And I'll catch you floating by, if I hear you feeling lost

I'll come softly, when I hear you calling out
So if you call another man, I can stop and turn about
And I'm frightened by the cross, I've been running my whole life away
I cast away my sin, but it keeps coming back again

You touched me so gently, how could I say a word
And you turned me round and walked me through the short and narrow door
I was lifted and calling out your name
But you ain't been back and you ain't sent and I haven't been the same
No I'll never be the same

I can't be sorry for what I may have done
For once the gauntlet passes on, I'll go back to speaking tongues
You came so quickly, I was astonished by your cause
Then once or twice I paused before I continued breaking laws

And I'm frightened by the cross, I've been running my whole life away
I cast away my sin, but it keeps coming back again
And I've been running my whole life away
I cast away my sin, but it keeps coming back again
I ain't got long to carry on, I'm coming back again
Cause I can't cast away my sin
