The Longest Day

Right away

waiting for a sign

wanting you to take my hand

Breathless in the morn

you'd gone to better lands

i just sat there, silent

as the longest day began

Gone a day

it feels like many years

there below the wet tree ground

Sun gave to moon said

"sleep now restless one

cause i ain't never seen a night

that didn't have a dawn"

Spring brought rain

summer brought the fall

fox said goodbye to their homes

Almost been a year

my love for you has grown

and this weathered photograph

is all i have to show
