Cousins
Engine’s turning but there ain’t no spark
Owls a-hooting but the dog won’t bark
No more greetings from the meadowlark
Deep in the darkest night.
I tried to warn you but you’d gone too far
The cut was serious but left no scar
Now you’re waving from a distant star
Deep in the darkest night.
You climbed your ladder while the sun shone bright
Now you’re a memory never out of sight
A shining light deep in the darkest night.
You were youngest but you stepped out first
You were gifted but the gift was cursed
You gave your good heart ‘til your good heart burst
Deep in the darkest night.
You spoke your word and your word was trust
But a will of iron can turn to rust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Deep in the darkest night.
I know you’re watching and I wish you well
When next I see you, only time will tell
When you see me coming, give that rebel yell
Deep in the darkest night.
