Notes Falling Slow

My love swears that he is made of truth I do believe him though I know he lies I've caught him creeping 'round darkened holes I've caught him staring at distant skies I would have seen it coming but I'm blind with age Too much time on the battle line Shut it all out just let the notes fall slow Slow My love lives inside a haze of gloom He fears today, what might come tomorrow Seeks the shadow, shuns the light Bleeds for knowledge, prepares for sorrow I would have seen it coming but I'm blind with age Too much time on the battle line Shut it all out just let the note fall slow Slow This ain't no depression, just notes falling slow An early snow and notes falling slow Do I have the strength to bear their passion?
