lyrics

Were you the hand
of the true beam
thoughtful, planned
with a grain so
thin, careful years, kindly wind
on my Father’s land

Hewed to bone
even steel
so warmly honed
to an edge
unseen by the sun’s fiery gleam
No reflection known

Stay, oh, star
Gone are the pages and pain fearing rages
Of winter’s harm
I’ll burn them all
Tinder anew may it color flame blue
And draw memories small

And, on the lake
I’ll further score
The ice to make
A resting shore

Your apron white
In your hair
A braid so tight
Hidden scar
You’re strong even when the day’s wrong
Past, the noble fight

Smile, once more
In the mind of
One adored
For the image
Fades ever more, every day
In this silent war

Stay, oh, star
Gone are the pages and pain fearing rages
Of winter’s harm
I’ll burn them all
Tinder anew may it color flame blue
And draw memories small

And, in the woods
With crooked teeth
The dying, stood
In near defeat
I draw the steel
I sweat, I breathe
Saw your ghost
In the tumbling leaves
