lyrics

I must away, love, I can no longer tarry
This morning’s tempest I have to cross
I must be guided without a stumble
Into the arms I love the most.

And when he came to his true love’s dwelling
He knelt down gently upon a stone
And through her window he whispered lowly
Is my true lover within at home?

Wake up wake up love it is thine own true lover
Wake up wake up love and let me in
For I am tired love and oh so weary
And more than near drenched to the skin.

She's raised her off her down soft pillow
She's raised her off and she's let him in
And they were locked in each other's arms
Until that long night was past and gone.

And when that long night was passed and over,
And when the small clouds began to grow
He's taken her hand and they’ve kissed and parted
And he saddled and mounted and away did go.

I must away love I can no longer tarry
This morning’s tempest I have to cross
I must be guided without a stumble
Into the arms I love the most.

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
