Bonnie Prince Billy - My Life's Work Lyrics

You want to go
From here to there.
Where is this valley?
Take me there.

I will pull
Ridge to ridge
With great stone cracking,
Make wondrous bridge.

I take this load on,
It is my life's work.
To bring you to the light,
Out of the dark.

Our little house
Can seem so small.
This morning we found
No love at all.

I bust a hole
In the ceiling so
The light will flow
And show

My lack of grace,
Your radiant face.
They make it worth
Our time, on Earth.

I take this load on
It is my life's work
To bring you into the light
And out of the dark.

The morning cry
Now a memory,
The after prayer,
Is all we see.

So this song becomes
The melody
Of you
As you're the song of me.
