Shadows Fall

Morning comes darkness drops
upon this day a shadow falls
silence warps through the halls
since i’ve been gone, gone, gone
A hundred years from today
lamplights ablaze? paves my way
till jesus saves my early grave
i will be gone, gone, gone
Drop the anchor lift my heart
from stem to stern i’m torn apart
mount my horse? pack my cart?
tomorrow i’m gone, gone, gone
Seek the hull? leave the deck
silver moon silhouette
in due time you will forget
that i am gone, gone, gone
i will be gone, gone, gone
since i’ve been gone, gone, gone
tomorrow i’m gone, gone, gone
