Night Lament - Kate Rusby

I come to the O’Earth

With thy gifts for every flower

Gem my dear I cast with love

With gentle calm, and proud with power

On and on each day is done

On and on triumphant, as each night is won

I come with every star

A thousand voices washed in tone

I whispers stories from afar

Bathed in light, I stand alone

On and on each day is done

On and on triumphant, as each night is won

I come from ancient Kings

Through sleeping leaves, I bring the storm

With no remorse, the tempest sings

Through every tree, and feel and form

On and on each day is done

On and on triumphant, as each night is won

I come from moonlight sky

A song of peace to all who sleep

On silver wings I gently fly

A harbour safe from swirling deep

On and on each day is done

On and on triumphant, as each night is won

I come from far at sea

By dawning light, it shadows me

And skimming waves, I go with glee

The endless hunt, it keeps me free

On and on each day is done

On and on chased by the sun

On and on triumphant, as each night is won
