lyrics

In the Midst of Fall
Music and Lyrics by James McNair Ramsey

And as a child I turned my face against the North Atlantic wind
And stood upon the Sussex coast and swore I’d find you in the end
And it was nineteen-sixty-nine; a war was raging in the East
And in a moment I’d be gone to find my way and make my peace

And in the midst of Fall you have cast your shadows everywhere
Till even now I can’t remember when there was a time that you would not be there
And you and I have just begun to fly away and meet the golden dawn
And we shall always be defined by the element of time

And as we move into the night, no longer bounded by the things we’ve done
The truth no longer gives us flight as through these ancient fields we run
And as a man I’ve come to know but one small thing about this life we live
When in the end all’s said and done, our love is all we have to give

And in the midst of Fall you have cast your shadows everywhere
Till even now I can’t remember when there was a time that you would not be there
And you and I have just begun to fly away and meet the golden dawn
And we shall always be defined by the element of time
No, we shan’t always be defined by the blood and by the wine.
