lyrics

Not long ago, on Horseshoe hill the grass was waving
Now it is still, underneath the snow still descending

As autumn ends, God lays down his white-snow blanket
I think he understands, all the fading life…we cannot take it.

We cannot take it…

Just up the street, to the hospital bed I peek.
And in a bleached white sheet, she still hears his heart and weeps.
“This is my man. Though winter comes Ill hold his hand.
His body won’t give in, and I won’t let go till I know
and I won’t let go till I know

he is not here, but is ascending.”

The beautiful life, it is just moments
Oh Aching wife, it is just moments.

You who lifted up, he is still yours, he is not broken.
Everything unsaid, can quietly, still be spoken.
Snow pulled him away, through weight of life, he is ascending.

But there is no need to climb…now.
