Intro
Verse 1
The Broom Sweeps Slow Across The Ancient Stone
Another Leaf Has Fallen To The Clay
You Mend The Thread Of Course We've Outgrown
No Words Are Needed For The Fading Day
Verse 2
Your Fingers Tremble Just A Little Now
I Steady Them With Hands As Worn As Oak
We Watch The Twilight Bend, The Willow Bow
And Wear The Silence Like A Familiar Cloak
Verse 3
And So We Wait, My Love We Gently Wait
For Whatever Tide The Evening Chooses To Bring
We've Locked The Storm Outside Our Wooden Gate
And In The Quiet We Still Hear The Spring
Chorus
Let The Shadows Grow, Let The Cold Wind Blow
We Hold The Warmth Of Fifty Winters Deep
We Wait Together, Soft And Slow
Before We Drift To Sleep
Verse 4
A Shed Half Apple On A Wooden Plate
A Sudden Laugh At Things We Used To Fear
The Heavy Ledger Of Our Mortal Fate
Is Written In The Lines We Carry Here
Verse 5
Your Eyes Still Hold The Quiet Steady Spark
That Guided Me Through Valleys Long Ago
Now As The Room Surrenders To The Dark
There Is No Hurry In The Way We Go
Verse 6
And So We Wait, My Love We Gently Wait
For Whatever Tide The Evening Chooses To Bring
We've Locked The Storm Outside Our Wooden Gate
And In The Quiet We Still Hear The Spring
Chorus
Let The Shadows Grow, Let The Cold Wind Blow
We Hold The Warmth Of Fifty Winters Deep
We Wait Together, Soft And Slow
Before We Drift To Sleep
Verse 7
Let The Sky Turn Grey, Let The Thunder Roll
We've Built Our Sanctuary In The Dust
With Every Ache That Lingers In The Soul
We Find A Quiet Unyielding Trust
We Do Not Fear The Closing Of The Door
For We Have Walked This Path
And We Ask For Nothing More
Outro
Just This Hand In Mine
The Passing Of Time
We Wait Together
