David Ward - 1,000

I don't know but I've been told
1,000 lives will surely fold behind me
Named and loved and in this way
1,000 things and people brought to light today
Children trudging through a side blown December wind
Peeling back the sticky heat from summer rain-soaked skin
Golden Wilma in my hands like lemons in the spring
Autumn leaves stacked in the lot and the spines left in our things
Here you stand
Before me now
I see the light in you of many forms
A child, a boy, a man
Time is long
Time is short
Every minute more means that there's one less than before
Time moves on
I don't know but I've been told
1,000 lives will surely fold behind me
Name and loved and in this way
1,000 things and people brought to light today
A letter in the mail when I won't be home til spring
A January moon pinned between the centre rings
A mouth on yours, a hand on mine, the ending of the day
The bronze light in your hair with the summer on your face
Are you real
Am I here enough to feel
I know sometimes the days are short
Can't be stuck inside a wheel
Am I too late
Am I right on time
I want to be everything I can for you
Feel all the love I find
Give me time
I don't want nobody but you
See my mind's always stuck in a groove
Wake me up 'cause I'm acting a fool
And you're my jewel
Make me brand new
