lyrics

My lover set foot in a dark lake,
with a troubled mind and clothes the shade of gray.
And I couldn’t scream, ‘cause I know his mind.
I held him in his sleep when he cried.
Charon says I will have to pay him,
so there will be coins on his eyes.
And the whippoorwill, the nightengail,
scream for me. Because I know not how to cry.
But what a heavy weight to sleep alone!
I cannot fill up with hate or face any shadow.
So a candle will be lit before I sleep.
To tell all demons, “my soul is not theirs to keep.”
But, what a heavy weight to be a widow!
When my heart has been wrapped and hollowed.
And I’d like to know just why you’ve done this.
Right when my love was at it’s strongest.
And when the sun rises I shall not,
I’ll wait til the moon and sit on the dock
and hope to see your face among the waves. Or a stir in the pattern alike to your grace.
