Rise Up, Rise Up

Kim A McKee©

Chorus:
Rise up, rise up
My wild-eyed girl
Sleep not this darkest hour
Come fan the embers
Of my soul
Till the dawn
This night
Devours

Our sun bathed day, so far away
How quickly did it fly
Now I dream it true to be with you
In this twilight where I lie

Chorus

The cold damp stone where we passed by
And the moss where we laid our heads
Were warmer then, than I am now
Alone in this linen’d bed

Chorus

Bridge
The dusk so slowly gathered in
I did not feel the chill
Now the age-ed night has seized my heart
And I am old against my will

Where have you gone my wild-eyed girl?
Far from me you have strayed
Now I hear the brook side call my name
Out where the young lovers play
