Written with a little poetic inspiration from Alfred Lord Tennyson’s, The Splendour Falls on Castle Walls:
Moon rich sky, I feel each
phase of time go by
long and high, I hear them echo by
Richer than the bluest blue
of velvet skies
I hear them echo by, echo by
Echoing dying, dying, forever dying
Echoes part in two from
heart to heart, two heartbeats
lost in time, echo by
Echoing dying, dying, forever dying
Taken by the hand with
no reply she sees
all her hopes and dreams
echo by
Echoing dying, dying, forever dying
forever and ever and ever…
