This Time Will Pass - Karan Casey

I’ll keep your story

I’ll keep it for you

Fold it into my heart

Where no one will know

I’ll hold your spirit

Like a sigh on the wind

Like some rain on a flower

To remind me of you

I’ve seen the mountain

Her bulge in the sky

Her baby unborn

Heard her scalded heart cry

(Chorus:)

This time will pass

A wise man has told me This time will pass

On all occasions

You must come quiet

To the door of my memory

I’m standing on briars

Out in the storm

Your song like the stars

It will be sung

So gather the brightness

Into your heart

I’ve seen the mountain

Her bulge in the sky

Her baby unborn

Heard her scalded heart cry

(Chorus)
