To My Dear Love
By Bambootiger
Within my winter, my dear love,
I could see naught, but a shadow,
The fog of it across my heart
Turned to sparrow gray, my fields of snow.
Then I was changed, though I not know how,
I know why I will not forget,
For I treasure you as the sun, and to me,
The first day of spring was the day we met.
Time will change us all;
The stream erodes this fragile form, each day,
And yet within, my dear love, within, and by each hour of light,
You grow more endearing, in a more endurable way,
And where now we stand in time, I love you more,
even than when you were my bride,
For, with each year we share, you are ever my dear love,
and more beautiful inside.
Take this cover, of the pages of my years,
Touch the letters, thread worn now with age,
When you, my dear love, read the words within,
See my thoughts of you on every page,
And should I ever take my leave from life,
And you, should carry on, my dear love,
Then whatever we were, or had together,
You will carry on the best part of.
Lyrics
The Raven Wing
(The music for this is in the key of G. Here are the lryrics:)
verse 1
Stars are silent echoes in my eyes of the raven wing touching my heart.
I stay until sunrise burns the Raven wing apart.
verse 2
The dreams I remember yesterday were like distant stars in the dark sky,
then I found you my love when you touched me I could fly.
verse 3
Today and tomorrow with you will be as the Raven wing of starlight
Without an end my love and as beautiful as night.
Chorus
You are the Raven wing
You flew with my heart on a summer breeze
You are the Raven wing of darkness across my mountains and my seas.
You are the Raven wing of beauty all shimmering in starlight.
You are my love and my friend beside me the Raven wing of night.
Bridge
Alas my friend you would do me wrong to cast away my love and life I give freely;
Darkly the clouds would cover my sky, and now in the light of a thousand stars I fly!
Stay always oh always with me, because without you where would I be?
Coda
The Raven wing of starlight
The Raven wing of night
