Dright away
Cwaiting for a sign
Dwanting you to take my Chand
Cbreathless in the mGorn
Gyou'd gone to better Clands
i just Csat there, silent,
as the Dlongest day Gbegan
---
gone a day
it feels like many years
there below the wet tree ground
sun gave to moon said
"sleep now restless one,
cause i ain't never seen a night
that didn't have a dawn"
---
spring brought rain
summer brought the fall
fox said goodbye to their homes
almost been a year
my love for you has grown
and this weathered photograph
is all i have to show
