lyrics

The clouds may rest
As your mind won’t let you
With mine the same
Awake as I craned
As the robin did
Through your window pane
From blind to flying
In warmth to keep sane

I watched the dogwood blossom overnight
A stubborn snowbank melt
A shadow fed sunlight
To whisper the forest awake in the morning
A soul reclaimed, revived today
Please listen close
Your conscious glow, it saves

Even in absence
A neglected rose
Shielded from the cadence
A stemmed thorn grown
In the beating of their wings
The churn of the river
A rain song remembered
A sacrilege lifted
From bane to beauty
In this sleepwalking writer
The wisest listener, tied forever

We grew under stars in a Wardcliff refuge
Both on the border, down 43 and over
With it all forgiving
Even in the darkest
When night had fallen softly
Gone wrong in silence
With all we’ve learned, speaking now
To bring a better end
A love so loud

Even in the ebb, the flow of going
I pine, I strive to mend the losing
To know we won’t
Be parting then
Even in the changing
The fraying thread
In the almost lost
A sentiment sought
A golden friend
