lyrics

We Don’t Live Forever (words & music David Ross Macdonald)

Turn out the light, come to bed let me light the candles in your head let me glow there
Feel my breath against your skin before it ends let it begin

Closer than the thought of you now as one where once was two in hiding
The pale of moon comes from the sun the heart of you is hardly won by this fighting

We don’t live forever

At the spring and to our knees we quench the summers arid needs never humble
But from this fall it’s comes to pass that winters will is in her grasp like the fable

We don’t live forever

Before you leave take this much I give to you what time won’t touch
Before the breath before the moon for the weakening winters noon a letter

We don’t live forever
