Dusk

See my hand is moving Touching all that's real And once it stroked love's body Now it claws the past The scent of a flower The colours of the morning Friends to believe in Tears soon forgotten See how the rain drives away, another day If a leaf has fallen Does the tree lie broken? And if we draw some water Does the well run dry? The sigh of a mother The screaming of lovers Like two angry tigers They tear at each other See how for him lifetime's fears disappear Once had Jesus suffered Heaven could not see him And now my ship is sinking The captain stands alone A pawn on a chessboard A false move by God will now destroy me But wait, on the horizon A new dawn seems to be rising Never to recall this passer-by, born to die
