The Herald at Night

The herald came last night
He sat down by my bed
His weary frame so spare
His eyes a midnight sea.

I knew right then, the old bridge broke,
That fragile mystic bridge,
Between tomorrow and yesterday
And stilled, the hands of time.

The herald came last night
He sat down by my bed
His weary frame so spare
His eyes a midnight sea.

C G    F E    E C G C    C G C C G F C
A thin fist shook at me,
His bitter face a mask,
I knew right then, oh love I hold so dear,
This song will be your last.
