Over All the Rest Often in the evening When grey shadows come I can see more clearly All the things I’ve done And when the darkness settles Softly on my breast I can see your image Over all the rest Sometimes in the morning When the sun appears I cansense this passion Growing through the years I can feel your fingers In a warm caress And I can hear you whisper Over all the rest Over all the lightning Through the blackest storm It was always you Who kept me safe and warm The distance never left me Very far behind For though the stormy winds I traveled back in time Sometimes in the winter Though the blinding snow I see all the words I wanted you to know But when the sunset settles Deeply in the west You will be the warmth I feel upon my breast And I will hold you dearly Over all the rest Elizabeth Santos |

A deep devotion just as it should be. The flow in this was superb, not only line to line but verse to verse. I think we have all come to expect that from you anyway. You give us images with the passion and meaning behind them but never fail to keep the content in the forefront. Exceptional write. |
