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.
