Song A Day #478: The Ending of The World
wild thoughts pass through my head
dorthey's home and the witch is dead
the home is changed the girl's the same
i give myself up to the strange
and i know
the color of your soul
blue as midnight in a summer evening
skyline touched by gold
be still and listen
the world is changing
no one can stop it
but you and i will love one another
until the ending of the world
holy men can make mistakes
heavy is the heart that breaks
broken down on bended knee
we draw the curtain back and see
human beings
all wanting to be loved
living dying asking why and never knowing
what any of it was
the lives we lead
the love we need
hidden in the cold dark places
it calls us home
to arms unknown
till we stop and hear the sound of waves
a coming to wash the world away
