If I knew, there would be no sun in the sky
no more tears left to cry
with the many things that you do

out to reach the mountain top
with your Love that always last.

it’s allowing the faith in me
that mountain top isn’t much to bear
with my heart that feels so free.”

The sea pronounces something, over and over, in a hoarse whisper; I cannot quite make it out. But God knows I have tried.”

They seemed too dark, somehow, and the nearest was riddled with hollows where tiny lights glimmered. The fog shifted again, and I was gazing at a luxuriant rose garden. The flowers were fat and healthy, but the garden itself was overgrown and had the air of abandonment, the rosebushes almost swallowing their trellises, some of which had collapsed. A little wind blew back the heads of the nearest roses, and I felt as if they were turning to gaze at me.”
