Kat Eggleston: Music

One (SPEAK)

When my days and nights are finally run

Beyond breath and regret, when my work is done

I'll abandon all things on earth, save one

I will love you, when all else is gone.

When the dust around my running feet

Falls at last, to warm some growing tree

When the light fails, and I no longer see

I will know you, 'til I cease to be.

When the chapel and the garden wall

Turn to rubble, with the mansion tall

When our cities crumble, one and all

I will find you, though the stars may fall

Though my strength and wit, they may be poor

I'll bring all I have to your door

All my past, to all that lies before

And I will love you, 'til I am no more.
