Shadow of a Wing

Rain steady falling
Through the stretches of the night
Like something silent calling
From the darkness to the light
But as for dark or light, love
Well you are neither way
I've learned to live without you
And to hold you anyway
A bluejay's in the garden, love,
The old sun in the sky
There's someone come to ring the bell
And show me how to fly
There's someone comes with brandy,
Just as morning breaks
I keep a shot-glass handy,
I know just what it takes
A toast to bear the Winter, love,
A toast to cheer the Spring
May the darkness that you walk in
Be the shadow of a wing
All waters find the heavens, love
And fall to rise again
This rain whispers the reason
Why the calling never ends
