At the Edge of Time

Song Cycle by Brian Elias (b. 1948)

1. And I thought you beside me  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
And I thought you beside me
How rare and how desperate
And your eyes were wet
And your face as still
As the body of a leveret
On a tranced hill
But my thought belied me
And you were not there
But only the trees that shook,
Only a storm that broke
Through the dark air.
