The Last Song of the Lark

My love now she is leaving
And the day is getting dark
The night-time moon’s appearing
Hear the last song of the lark
 
The evening’s silence deepens
My heart begins to weaken
My restless soul it opens
Hear the last song of the lark
 
The distance now between us
Is like the sight of Venus
A bright star in the night sky
And my eyes begin to cry
 
The sounds that now surround me
Are like the soft mists of the morning
The wonder of this vision
Is like the last song of the lark
 
My love will always be there
And in my heart forever
Never never falling
Like the calling of the lark…

(2013)

Written with the tune of Bob Dylan's "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" in my mind.
