I Still Hear You

Someday, darling, when you're dead And with this wilting world you've wed And all I have of you to keep 'God rest your blessed busy head' Are words you tell into my sleep Someday when your shadows flower And petals blossom by the hour I'll take my day off to your grave And let the mighty winds devour And give you one triumphant wave God knows that I still hear you Darling, I still hear you laughing But only for a minute And then you're gone a minute And then you're long gone Like the day from the moon Like the child from his high balloon Someday while my mouth's still warm And everyone has been informed I'll think of what you said last May To let them not be long forlorn But buried in some better way Along the Lake Superior shore God knows that I still hear you Darling, I still hear you singing But only for a minute And then you're gone a minute And then you're long gone Like the day from the moon Like the child from his high balloon
