Tidal Song
Now there's nothing left unsaid
With storm clouds gathering overhead
On the glory of the moments passed between us
As she tells me how it goes
The waves lap around at our toes
And the rain scars the sand all around us
A Window
From here at my window I see last year's sparrows flit from the trees They are drawn to your sweet breath As you force a path through the fallen leaves Darkness is falling over our garden A shadow falls over your heart-shaped face The birds retreat over the blacked hills Night plunder any sound from this place Oh, darling sing me all those songs of sorrow Sing me all those broken lullabies And we'll rail against the silence And against those midnight skies Whisper slowly that you love me And we'll lay all those dogs to rest Hold my hand for those ghosts to see And lay your head down upon my chest Shafts of light splinter our garden The sparrows return to dance in the trees As we tread a path, hand-in-hand Through our garden and the fallen leaves
