Dust and Dreams-A Journey

Look Away, My Love (Love)

Look Away, My Love

Let us sing thy great hymns of life,
As we watch thy past stroll through the door,
Let us weep in lonely strife,
As we gaze skyward toward inner core,

Look away, my love, look away,
I lost thy spirit to age once more,
Look away, my love, look away,
Thy soul does quake in silent war,

Thy jewel bequeathed upon thy brow,
Now hangs heavy, dusty in decay,
Gold crown of youth, tarnished and old,
Eras of love every silently fade,

Look away, my love, look away,
Thine icy tears do fall unbrushed,
Look away, my love, look away,
Thine arms long to feel thy gentle touch,

I dreamed I felt thy warm embrace,
Encircle me tenderly, in gentle hand,
I wept with joy at thy memory,
Of young days spent strolling in the sand,

Look away, my love, look away,
Thy spirits of life cry out to thee,
Look away, my love, look away,
Simply gaze upon thy memory,

In love......
