Lilac Sky

In my darkest hour death had come Came to claim my darling, father, brother, son
My sweetest one

In my darkest hour's solemn night Castaway from union, stairway flight to the basement, My love, forgive me

We shall meet in the lightWalk in love, husband wife

Limbs entwined beneath cedars and pinesReignite the stars in the lilac sky

In the early morning, I woke to find Life less silver face uncovered
The unspoken hung like chimes by still water

How I wish to turn around again, Walk away from death's caresInto your arms, love and warmth again

We shall meet in the lightWalk in love, husband wife

Limbs entwined beneath cedars and pines, reignite the stars in the lilac sky

Next of kin, next to me, Broken heart, lifeless skin, Stay with me, my darling one stay with me through life and beyond
