Ben Gunstone - Till the Day I'm Done

I stood between the shore and the water
Your eyes, pale as sand
You ran to me like a daughter
With early violets in your hand

Our sweet sun set below the briar
Damsel flies on flowering rush
The swallows gather on the wire
And they are gone in the September blush

Tomorrow and its cause
Greater than us all
I love you now and til the day I'm done

Twilight's lonely course
Closer than we thought
I love you now and til the day I'm done

The moon is rising in the twilight
Above the church where we were blessed
I brought us wood for the fireside
The leaves are as dark as they'll get

I am standing on field at midnight
The frost is thick around my shoes
I gathered everything of you around me
Here until the night turns blue

Tomorrow and its cause
Greater than us all
I love you now and til the day I'm done

The twilight's lonely course
Closer than we thought
I love you now and til the night is dawn

The cross is elder borne
The staff is made of thorn
The ever-blackening tor above us
In the rain is torn

The snow that softly falls
Rarer than the call
Of wild drifts of heavens
Beyond its ragged shore
