The Sender

Through long and hollow skies
A year ago my true love and I
The cold grey clapper stone
We crossed the bridge and we headed home
Lilac hills arise,
To meet my lover’s eyes
Time will put to bed
A pale moon burning bright
Above our heads
Beneath this willow tree
Silent words they comfort me
Tender colours touched the sky
Casting shadows from you and I
Memories turn to ink
Weary hearts they sink
Time will put to rest
A pale moon burning bright
Above our heads
Wrapped in mist and sleep
She searched the corners of ruined streets
Words that travelled so far
They found her in a dug-out bar
Verses twist and turn
Weeping eyes they burn
Lines of love undress
A pale moon burning bright
Above our heads
Years have passed her by
One paper promise now locked inside
Stories young and old
Moments sent when letters fold
Send a sweet surprise
To meet your lover’s eyes
And time will put to bed
A pale moon burning bright
Above our heads
