All This And More

It's not that I'm so cheerful
though I'll always raise a smile
And if at times my nonsense
Rhymes then I'll stand trial
My friends are all around me
But they only breathe through fear
Were I to cry I'm sure that still
They'd never see a tear
In darkness through my being here
Away from you
The bright light of your star
Confronts me shining through
Dull and sullen much subdued
My skull a stony glaze
Whirlpools rage on constantly
I'm not so well these days
There must be something somewhere
Near who sees what's being done
The harbour lights are burning
Bright my wax is almost run
In darkness through my being here
Away from you
The bright light of your star
Confronts me shining through
Come Lollard raise your lute and sing
And to my ears her beauty bring
Like Maddox in the days of old
We'll feast and drink until we fold
And folding still we'll spare a thought
For what's been lost and what's been caught
And maybe then begin again
For love is life not poison
In darkness through my being here
Away from you
The bright light of your star
Confronts me shining through
Oh shining through
It shining through
Bright light of your
Star keeps shining through
