lyrics

Half Light

I thought of you as the rain came
Pouring through cold air onto my window.
Snapshots of dark holiness in blankets
Tossing in uneasy sleep.
I thought of you waking to this deluge,
Unprotected but by fortitude and willing.
Warming up with a taste of blended whiskey.
Oh, I thought of you.

All of life is sacred,
each and every one.
Grey-green hillsides in my eyes
greet the straining Solstice sun.
Half-light.
Out of darkness comes
half-light.
We are dawning.

I pulled your face up in my mind
As a chill walked down my back and settled in me.
I saw you struggle under water-mist street light,
Searching for some overhang.
I thought of you in taped-up shoes
Bare protection, no loving arms to warm you.
Snuggled down in my bed with my companion I
Oh, I thought of you.

All of life is sacred,
each and every one.
Grey-green hillsides in my eyes
greet the straining Solstice sun.
Half-light.
Out of darkness comes
half-light.
We are dawning.
