This Time Will Pass

I'll keep your story
I'll keep it for you
Fold it into my heart
Where no one will know

I'll hold your spirit
Like a sigh on the wind
Like some rain on a flower
To remind me of you

I've seen the mountain
Her bulge in the sky
Her baby unborn
Heard her scalded heart cry

(Chorus:)
This time will pass
A wise man has told me
This time will pass
On all occasions

You must come quiet
To the door of my memory
I'm standing on briars
Out in the storm

Your song like the stars
It will be sung
So gather the brightness
Into your heart

I've seen the mountain
Her bulge in the sky
Her baby unborn
Heard her scalded heart cry

(Chorus)
