The Blues Busker Sings

Press play before reading.  Salute.



Some day 

I can only pray


You'll see  


The light we shared 

Was meant to be 


For within me too

As time shadows fall


I know within you 

I’ll stay too


Until I 

Hear the call


To walk beside you

Before the Fall


Hold your hand 

To fight the cold


To keep

That spell


Alive

Wherever we dwell


As lone souls

Yell


Some day 

I can only pray


You'll see  

The light we shared 


Was meant to be 

To set us free


Some day

To set us free


Wherever we dwell

As lone souls yell


For within me too

As time shadows fall


I know within you 

I’ll stay too


Until I 

Hear the call


To walk beside you

Before the Fall


Hold your hand 

To fight the cold


To keep

That spell


Alive

Wherever we dwell


As lone souls

Yell


To keep that spell 

Alive


Wherever we dwell

As lone souls yell


Some day 

I can only pray


You'll see  

The light we shared 


Was meant to be 


To keep

That spell


Alive

Wherever we dwell


As lone souls

Yell


To keep that spell 

Alive


To set us free

To set us free


Wherever we dwell

As lone souls yell


I can only pray


Some day

I can only pray


You'll see 


The light we shared 

Was meant to be

To set us free


For someday

All I can do is pray
