At First Light

At first light we walked together,
Discovering the world in each other,
And each other in the world.
The sky, it opened.

We drew close like two bodies in the cold,
Lives reaching to be warmed in the light.
And she beckoned me with our first kiss,
Follow me home. Follow me home.

It’s a long road, but it beautiful.
The streets are empty, the sky is full with stars,
Our hearts are close, your hand is warm, the night is quiet.

If all the world’s an emptiness,
Her breath fills my sky,
Her light fills my eyes,
Her love fills my heart,
Arriving home the hearth is warm.

We bake bread,
And weave the night sky into faerie tales;
Roads for our children to walk down,
As they grow and leave home.
Leaving home;

It’s a long road, but it beautiful.
The streets are empty, the sky is full with stars,
Our hearts are close, your hand is warm, the night is quiet.

The house is empty now,
Autumn leaves they fall upon the porch
Where we sit holding hands,
Drawing close to home.

The smell of burning wood,
Embers in the fire softy glow.
We draw close like two bodies in the cold.
And she beckoned me with her last breath,
Follow me home. Follow me home.

It’s a long road, but it beautiful.
The streets are empty, the sky is full with stars,
Our hearts are close, your hand is warm, the night is quiet.
