When I Have Fears That I May Cease To Be

from West Branch by Brother Earth

/

lyrics

When I have fears that I would cease to be
When I would see that blackness slips us away
to watch the waves and find that they cry all the time
I never washed ashore the blackness of the night
Never stirred the waters of the Lethe
Never sighed upon the edge of the tides at night
So when I walked the stone upon the dotted shower
Frozen alone within the empty bower
Searching for the coins in my eyes to cross sides
I caught a glimpse fair creature of an hour
an image wrought by the magic hand of chance
and I could feel the blue in her eyes
