But The Days And Nights Are Long
by Cheryl Wheeler

Life is short, but the days and nights are long
Time will heal all these wounds
Some day soon
I’ll be rising I’ll be strong

But now I’m loosing all my battles
Now I’m down and dropping still
And this snow’s blowing through
Like some ghost
With this blue I know too well

Broken hearts keep on beating just the same
So I guess I can too
Go through these moves
Facing forward, walking straight

But now my glance keeps drifting downward
Now my feet can’t find their way
And this cold’s creeping in
Through my bones
Whisperin’ it’s here to stay

I’ll bide my time, like there’s any other way
It moves too slow, moves too fast
It’s gone and past
And stopped entirely today

I know there’s light on some horizon
But I can’t see so far ahead
Patience and grace, blessed is love
I’m losin’ my faith
In most of that stuff those wise men said

Life is short, but the days and nights are long…
