Bonnie Prince Billy My Life's Work
You want to go
from here to there.
Where is this valley?
Take me there.
I will pull
ridge to ridge
with great stone cracking,
make wondrous bridge.
I take this love at home.
It is my life's work.
To bring you to the light,
out of the dark.
Our little house
can seem so small.
This morning we found
no love at all.
I bust a hole
in the ceiling so
the light will flow
and show
my lack of grace,
your radiant face.
They make it worth
our time.
I take this love at home.
it is my life's work
to bring you into the light
and out of the dark.
The morning came.
Now a memory,
the after prayer,
is all we see.
So this song becomes
the melody
of you
as you're the song of me.
