From Anne’s album Accidental August

I’ll remember you in the gloaming
in the shimmering edge of the day
out where the tall grass touches the sand
and the sand reaches out to the bay

or in the cathedral of cedar
stars tangled into your hair
you and the stars were the world to me then
so I will remember you there

we would stand at the top of the earth
with the future stretched out beneath
the fields and the brambles looked tiny and harmless
we knew no deceit
before we tumbled and bruised our way back
tearing the wings off our feet

I’ll remember you by the water
sun setting deep in your eyes
your brown hands full of the gifts of the sea
reflecting the fathomless skies

or heavy your head on my shoulder
sorrow and laughter entwined
outlined by shadow in memories so bright
and there in the last light defined

I’ll remember you in the gloaming
