Longing And Losing

I must be our ruin
I must dead iron
Don't short-sight it's worth
It comes to steal mine
It comes as it always has
and in keeping me hid

there must be
peace in the morning,
peace in the night.
peace in the daylight,

let it out stand forever
does it outstand so plight
may it wash all us over
and its back-breaking crime

let it cast me far forward,
'til the end of my life.

there must
be peace when eyes are open
peace her eyes to find
let us rest till it's over
let us soak up the healing
tonight
