Portrait Of A Clear Day - Julie Byrne

Beside you I drank from the pitcher of life

Whisper as not to wake the land

Timeless and wide in the middle of the night

I wanna sing again

How many times I've watched the sun

Rise and die you know I've been alone

Sunlight burns on the water the blues

Fall on you like a word unmade

Never to be the same

It was slow but for so long

I watched every gain I thought I'd made

Tumble to the ground

Silence through the rooms of this house

Hold every answer ever come at the end

Timeless and wide in the middle of the night

Am I just waiting for you all over again

How many times I've watched the sun

Rise and die you know I've been alone

Sunlight burns on the water the blues

Fall on you like a word unmade

Never going to be the same

It was slow true and tried

What we've known I'll carry that through time

Love affirms the pain of life

Your love filled me like the summer ground

Passed me like the rising sign

And I get so nostalgic for you sometimes
