A Song For David

In my heart I will wait by the stony gate

And the little one in my arms will sleep

Every rising of the moon makes the years grow late

And the love in our hearts will keep

There are friends I will make

And bonds I will break

As the seasons roll by

And we build our own sky

In my heart I will wait

By the stony gate

And the little one

In my arms will sleep

And the stars in your sky

Are the stars in mine

And both prisoners of this life are we

Through the same troubled waters we carry our time

You and the convicts and me

There's a good thing to know

On the outside or in

To answer not where

But just who I am

'Cause the stars in your sky

Are the stars in mine

And both prisoners of this life are we

The hills that you know will remain for you

And the little willow green will stand firm

The flowers that we planted through the seasons past

Will all bloom on the day you return

To a baby at play

All a mother can say

He'll return on the wind

To our hearts, and till then

I will sit and I'll wait

By the stony gate

And the little one

'Neath the trees will dance
