lyrics

When the daylight fades before me
And the sun falls behind the hill
Believe that you will find me
I know, I know you will

I walk across the page in slow procession
Following the cadence of my feet
Write my life into words, this is my confession
Write them now, that I may sleep

If I die tonight
The wind will stoke my fire as it stokes my fears
I will go with everything unfinished
But what a gift, to die on the verge of tears

I have spent my life a-tryin'
To understand how to free the soul of a girl
And how leaving is the only solution
To this predicament of loving the world

My tired heart is buried
Beneath the miner's stream
Take me into your arms so lightly
Let my eyes turn back from gray to green

When the daylight fades before me
And the sun falls behind the hill
Believe that you will find me
I know, I know you will.
