Ballad

If you can see the strong unwearied starlight

Riding up mountains of the night astride

Then as you stand alone within the breathing darkness

I'll be at your sideIf you can look on this unchanging sunlight

One second fully when the day is new

Then as the burning coin dazzles beneath your eyelids

I shall look at youAnd if you can run where wind may beat about you

Out on the hill where shadows race

Touching grass, touching trees and the edge of water

I shall touch your face

Though all the lands of heaven and earth divide us

No distance is a dark, unbroken tether

If you can walk within the same remembered music

We can walk, we can walk together.
