Each Coming Night

Will you say when I'm gone away "My lover came to me and we'd lay In rooms unfamiliar but until now" Will you say to them when I'm gone "I loved your son for his sturdy arms We both learned to cradle then live without" Will you say when I'm gone away 'Your father's body was judgment day We both dove and rose to the riverside" Will you say to me when I'm gone "Your face has faded but lingers on Because light strikes a deal with each coming night"
