lyrics

"Tarry In Prayer (There Is No Forever)"

We are the longest days
Secrets stolen just to hide away
From the ancients of time
From histories that slide

We are the careless joy
Smiles wider than the cup
Of cool love that we drink from
And sweat into the sun

We are to tarry in our youth
We are the beautiful days of song and laughter, wine and fruit

There is no forever, my love

We are nameless and beautiful
We are meager fortunes
Spent on got-some lock picks
And nervous hands in pockets

We are the slow pull to shore
The knowing moment before
Forced disembarkment
At a nervous, nervous hurried port

We are to tarry in prayer
Where this time and place is every day and everywhere

There is no forever, my love
