Last page for the voice

I request, in the half light

Even now the ten o'clock shadows

Lead you to the country side

And the big rocks, and the pasture

With the stars winking a smile

Love in the clear wafting cool

With your jacket flapping in the breeze

And the evening is a good place to lie down

And let the music play

Again roaming through the hills

In the market place, some where behind

And the tools, all on the shelf

And the wheels turning some other time

While your only thrill is the night

Stars winking hello

I know you and you're welcome to my realm

Granite rocks and green tufts of pasture land

Rolling hills hide the day

In their night time splendor

And went, in article of faith and time

And place

One after the other

Go to the granite halls

And the iron spikes

Crying "Who dares keep my steps here or there?"

I've gone through the ages, spent

And recommend in the almighty name

And rolling in the starry night

In the green blades and black speckles
