But the days and nights are long
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Life is short, but the days and nights are long
Time will heal all these wounds
Some day soon
I'll be rising I'll be strong
But now I'm loosing all my battles
Now I'm down and dropping still
And this snow's blowing through
Like some ghost
With this blue I know too well
Broken hearts keep on beating just the same
So I guess I can too
Go through these moves
Facing forward, walking straight
But now my glance keeps drifting downward
Now my feet can't find their way
And this cold's creeping in
Through my bones
Whisperin it's here to stay
I'll bide my time, like there's any other way
It moves too slow, moves too fast
It's gone and past
And stopped entirely today
I know there's light on some horizon
But I can't see so far ahead
Patience and grace, blessed is love
I'm loosin my faith
In most of that stuff those wise men said
