As sun begins her long descent
from noonday high to brittle beach
his soft-held lips sing sad lament
as sun begins her long descent.
And winsome woes begin ascent
spread far beyond his nimble reach
as sun begins her long descent
from noonday high to brittle beach.
Spread far beyond his nimble reach
while river's current turns aside
his tear filled eyes must now beseech
spread far beyond his nimble reach,
those questions voiced through silent speech
where thoughts and feelings must collide
spread far beyond his nimble reach
while river's current turns aside.
Where thoughts and feelings must collide
to reconnect the heart with love
his grateful prayer will not subside.
Where thoughts and feelings must collide
with all the care he stands beside,
he places hope in those above
where thoughts and feelings must collide
to reconnect the heart with love.
He places hope in those above
and watches faith remove the sun,
that tender hand suggestive of;
he places hope in those above.
Time passes through what's now begun
like gentle coo of mourning dove.
He places hope in those above
and watches faith remove the sun.
