lyrics

my she opined
you’re quite a divisive guide
a savior sworn to secrecy
a sinner left to light o’er the
darkened eve so hallow, vision so fair
no stable would offer no bed or no chair

child, sweet child
has run and run away
lost to a god or a man
cannot say
bring her back bring her home, though she’s tired and vain
for i cannot fathom the blood or the pain

my faith, o my faith
where, now, has it gone?
has it swum all the ocean
or risen with the sun?
where, now, is my love for all dark and all light?
when i wake will i know how to pray through the night?

so solemn the sunset and silent the moon
so holy the starshine that carries this tune
ooh, ooh, the meadowlarks cry
i’ll leave you with that since i can’t say goodbye

my faith, o my faith
where, now, has it gone?
has it swum all the ocean
or risen with the sun?
where, now, is my love for all dark and all light?
when i wake will i know how to pray through the night?
