The Longest Day

right away
waiting for a sign
wanting you to take my hand

breathless in the morn
you'd gone to better lands
i just sat there, silent,
as the longest day began

gone a day
it feels like many years
there below the wet tree ground

sun gave to moon said
"sleep now restless one,
cause i ain't never seen a night
that didn't have a dawn"

spring brought rain
summer brought the fall
fox said goodbye to their homes

almost been a year
my love for you has grown
and this weathered photograph
is all i have to show
