The Light of Day

The wind sweeps the hilltops
The bracken waves an autumn goodbye
I sit alone and the world I watch
As I watched you sleep a year last night
I am nobody
A spirit lost and a soul adrift
Pondering Time and Melancholy
Now you're gone what hell is this?

I'll never see the light of day
That died as you did and left me only grey
And now I can only pray
That I'll wake soon, 'don't worry love, it was just a dream'- you'll say

Between my fingers
Once verdant leaves crumble and whither
The feel of your touch on my face it lingers
The rain comes down and the storm comes hither
Overcome by chaos
My world is shattered and I can't go on
Life is a torrent of pain and loss
And Death is the only company I've got

I'll never see the light of day
That died as you did and left me only grey
And now I can only pray
That I'll wake soon, 'don't worry love, it was just a dream'- you'll say

I can remember
That we used to walk on snow capped mountains
Now I contemplate the embers
Of a love that's lost from the dreams of men
Its been a year, love
Since you left me here alone to wonder
If you watch me now from up above
And mourn while my heart's torn asunder

I'll never see the light of day
That died as you did and left me only grey
And now I can only pray
That I'll wake soon, 'don't worry love, it was just a dream'- you'll say

But then a swallow calls and I look up
And its eyes are yours just for a moment
The sun comes out behind the wings
Warms my face and in an instant

I see the light of day
In the place where I thought I'd feel only grey
And I hear your voice say
'Get up now, its not a dream, I'm here forever and I'll never go away'

The wind sweeps the hilltops
The dawn has come and a new day beckons
I sit here and the world I watch
And the light grows brighter with every second
Its been a year now
The pain is fresh but the wound is healing
Banishing the storm clouds
Now I know you're with me life has meaning

I see the light of day
In the place where I thought I'd feel only grey
And I hear your voice say
'Get up now, its not a dream, I'm here forever and I'll never go away'
