My Life's Work - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

You want to go

From here to there

Where is this valley?

Take me there

I will pull

Ridge to ridge

With great stone cracking

Make wondrous bridge

I take this load on

It is my life’s work

To bring you to the light

Out of the dark

Our little house

Can seem so small

This morning we found

No love at all

I bust a hole

In the ceiling so

The light will flow

And show

My lack of grace

Your radiant face

They make it worth

Our time, on Earth

I take this load on

It is my life’s work

To bring you into the light

And out of the dark

The morning cry

Now a memory

The after prayer

Is all we see

So this song becomes

The melody

Of you

As you’re the song of me
