Album: This Bright Hour
I never knew the dusk could seem so sad,
an empty aching in my soul
In this bright hour I speak your name in the wind,
the shining world outlasts us all
Even the mountains seem to know you're gone,
the foothills shimmer where they stand
The sky is still and much too beautiful,
and I am missing you again
Lift me over the San Gabriels, leaning into the southern sky
The foothills burning in the afterglow, an Angel Fire passing by
I think of songs I might have sung to you,
the love I wanted you to hear
Everytime the blazing sun goes down,
another promise disappears
I never knew the dusk could break my heart,
so much longing folding in,
I'd give years away to have you here,
to know I can't lose you again
Lift me over the San Gabriels, leaning into the southern sky
A flight of angels must be in the wind,
I know they'll pass this way tonight
Help me remember the San Gabriels, the foothills burning in the light
Let my heart rise up to where you are, I long to be with you tonight
I long to be with you tonight, I long to be with you tonight
