"The Veil" lyrics

"The Veil"

When the last leaf falls, when the organ calls
When the sky is fading into red
And the bells all toll for those who go
Many miles on ahead

In that evening light by the riverside
As the water rises up its song
Well, no sparrows fly when the lilies cry
Soon the stones shall join along

Oh, to glimpse those shores
Oh, to fear no more
Oh, to see behind the veil
For the night must come
But through it gleams the sun
May your light shine on as well

And now as you go into the unknown
And I am left to cry out in the air
Well, my voice will strain underneath the weight
Of my hope to find you there

Oh, to glimpse those shores
Oh, to fear no more
Oh, to see behind the veil
For the night must come
But through it gleams the sun
May your light shine on as well

Oh, to glimpse those shores
Oh, to fear no more
Oh, to see behind the veil
For the night must come
But through it gleams the sun
May your light shine on as well
May your light shine on as well
May your light shine on as well
