The Sender - Seth Lakeman

Through long and hollow skies

A year ago my true love and I

The cold grey clapper stone

We crossed the bridge and we headed home

Lilac hills arise,

To meet my lover’s eyes

Time will put to bed

A pale moon burning bright

Above our heads

Beneath this willow tree

Silent words they comfort me

Tender colours touched the sky

Casting shadows from you and I

Memories turn to ink

Weary hearts they sink

Time will put to rest

A pale moon burning bright

Above our heads

Wrapped in mist and sleep

She searched the corners of ruined streets

Words that travelled so far

They found her in a dug-out bar

Verses twist and turn

Weeping eyes they burn

Lines of love undress

A pale moon burning bright

Above our heads

Years have passed her by

One paper promise now locked inside

Stories young and old

Moments sent when letters fold

Send a sweet surprise

To meet your lover’s eyes

And time will put to bed

A pale moon burning bright

Above our heads
