[Intro] [Verse] I am that quiet, crystal man, the one you live and slowly know, the one who hurts when your fears grow, and dreams awake as long as he can. . I am the one who chases still from Monday through the Sunday light your smiling face both warm and bright, and lives within your tender thrill. . [Chorus] I am that man made out of clay you shape with love and bring to life, the one who stays through joy and strife, the one who speaks your name each day. I am the shadow standing near, you are the step that calms my fear. . [Long guitar solo and harmonica] [Verse] You are wild honey, mint, and thyme, the eyes that watch and sometimes hide, the peace when sorrow floods inside, the kiss awaiting me through time. . You are the moon upon my road, a longed-for breeze both fresh and light, the open hand that trusts what’s right, the wisest part my soul has known. . [Long guitar only] [Bridge] You are the world I try to write, the one that runs within my veins. You are the fire through my days, the one who makes me feel alive. . [Chorus] I am that man made out of clay you shape with love and bring to life, the one who stays through joy and strife, the one who speaks your name each day. I am the shadow standing near, you are the step that calms my fear. I am the shadow standing near, you are the step that calms my fear.
