Die by the Word

November weather
One year older
But now my heart feels
Ten winters colder
When we were together
I stood on the shoulder
Of the sky like a bird
And then the sky fell

Live by the word
Die by the word
And the word is love

All things change
It's the same forever
Time will bring us pain
We would never
Believe could be
But though we sever
The heart drives us on
Like a drumbeat

Die by the word
Live by the word
And the word is love

O the stars are cold
Long ago
Love was older than time, brighter than suns
But now the story's told
And only these lingering echoes of rhyme still remain
Remain to be sold.

November weather

But now my heart feels
Ten winters colder
When we were together
I stood on the shoulder
Of the sky like a bird
And then the sky fell

Live by the word
Die by the word
And the word is love
