The Slow Weeping

The Slow Weeping

Verse 1 In the dim of evening space
Where wind moves across her face
Her eyes are dark like heavy seas
Speaking hurt with quiet ease.
Chorus Can you hear the slow sad song
Dragging heavily along? In the beat of falling rain
Ghosts of love and ghosts of pain.

Verse 2 With wings that shine like morning dew
She moves where the wild wind blew
Her spirit caught in silent chains
Of fire passed and ash remains.
Bridge Walking past the broken stone
On the empty shore alone, Every step marks out the time
A heavy beat, a jagged rhyme.

Verse 3 Underneath the moon’s pale light
She finds quiet in the night
The sound of her life rings clear
Drowning out the hope and fear.
Chorus Can you hear the slow sad song
Dragging heavily along? In the beat of falling rain
Ghosts of love and ghosts of pain.

Outro Let her stay in night’s deep hold
A story that the dark has told
Her shadow falls upon the cast
A future tied into the past.
