Endless Days

from I Knew A Girl Once by Ray Zimmerman

/

lyrics

The time for looking back
Has now passed beyond the hill
The horizon now it calls beyond the sea

Yet I can’t go alone
By my side I need you still
As dawn breaks I would shatter
Without you beside me

The chorus of the birds
Will be an unfamiliar song
And ballads I once knew lost to the breeze

But your voice will call more sweetly
And your stride will grow more long
And by before late morning you'd have given my heart ease

Take courage
Set our worries fast ablaze
For in the morning we’ll say goodbye
To all our endless days

I see you now more clearly
Than I once did long ago
You now are more beautiful to my eyes

Though the waves roll higher now
You still are soft aglow
A fire burning white love some leagues beneath the tide

Soon but by my choosing my gaze will set aloft
Cast no longer upon this hallowed ground

The trodden dirt now furnished with pieces we have lost
Leave them now and head with me horizon bound

Be brave
For there are not so many ways
To say goodbye
To all these endless days

Many seasons now have passed
Many years trail in their wake
But shade is drawn too thin to keep me sleeping

Those shadows now at last
Have vanished with the break
Of the new day and the secrets it is keeping

I’d be bold
And cast off these rusted chains
If you only help me say goodbye
To all these endless days

So lay me down
Set those spectres in their graves
Rest easy tonight
With all our endless days
