Eventide

Passing through the dark Like silent ships at night Drifting on the waves to find a beacon A peaceful harbor Here you are again Just like so many times before To share with me the stories of our lives From you, my friend I ask just one thing Shine your light in eventide Companion 'til all hope has died Until life and death will reunite Your song shall guide me through My house of pain Spiritual oracle A passenger departs Into the vast unknown Lovingly, he reads the final chapter they ever wrote (they ever wrote) The company more comforting Than words could ever say Until the ending pages I will stay From you, my friend I ask just one thing Shine your light in eventide Companion 'til all hope has died Until life and death will reunite Your song shall guide me through My house of pain Spiritual oracle We did not go quietly into the night Old friend, now it's time for you and I To wave our goodbye I will be there waiting with a smile When you arrive I'll shine my light in eventide Companion 'til all hope has died Until life and death will reunite My song shall guide you through My house of pain
