But the Days and Nights Are Long

But the Days and Nights Are Long - 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 loosin my faith

In most of that stuff those wise men said

Most of that stuff those wise men said

Life is short but the days and nights are long
