the night walks to the end of the earth
the day fails to begin
the ocean has no more salt
the rivers are blood

When the plants grow over the works of men
When the stars all die
When the earth turns the other way

Will stop loving you

Even when it hurts?
Even when I grow up?
Even when you can’t see my face?
Even when you’re old and grey?

Even when my soul sways?
Even when I’m lying awake?
Even when depression creeps in?

Even when the sky is blank?
Even when I run away?

She asked above a whisper

Even then I say...
