October

I'll be your guide

Don't follow far behind

Don't lose me now

I can feel you fading

You flicker out of phase

While I am always waiting

I have loved you longer than these days could know

All these waves of sadness

But carry me to you

Through all the world

I've wandered till I'm weary

And placed my faith

In faithless hearts for nothing

But to hope is brave

Or so you've often told me

And oh all this time

To still not let

My heart form words

To say forget

You filled the sky

The day we met

And now the stars all shine through you

And though my dress is worn and grey

I still dance every dance for you

Where there is faith

Then you have made it stronger

Where there is hope

You've made it last much longer

And if there is love

Then you have made it greater
