early evenings


the darkness comes early
lasts longer than light
the cold's in the bones
there's no will to fight

the waiting seems endless
with false hopes and turns
when finally you grasp it
it no longer burns

'tween shadow and starlight
you can't find your breath
the glow of the sunrise
like waking from death

the sunshine breaks through
the golden leaves shine
for a moment you're lost
for a moment you're mine

but mostly the clouds
grey and heavy with rain
pour lead in your soul
sound an endless refrain

is the thing that you long
worth the price that you pay
can you live with the cost
at the end of the day

when the ache overwhelms
and you've nowhere to go
i'm holding out hope
where the rain turns to snow

so blow on that flame
when the night is too long
wrap your love with a bow
i'll come to your song
