Each Coming Night
Will you say when I'm gone away"My lover came to me and we'd layIn rooms unfamiliar but until now"
Will you say to them when I'm gone"I loved your son for his sturdy armsWe both learned to cradle then live without"
Will you say when I'm gone away'Your father's body was judgement dayWe both dove and rose to the riverside"
Will you say to me when I'm gone"Your face has faded but lingers onBecause light strikes a deal with each coming night"
