End of Time
They carved their names upon the tree
So that forever they would be
Under the sky near the waterfalls flow
By the pond where the water lilies grow
But dark skies came to surround
She lifts her eyes heaven bound
Trying to find a way towards his guiding light
The flame that burned ever so bright
For him she cried, far into the night
dreams lost among those hills that night
In sadness the tears invade the soul
Damp eyes that continue to flow
A place where the sun refuses to shine
Lost in thought between space and time
Now on her own again by the waters edge
She remembers the words-- the pledge
I am yours and you are mine
Until the very end of time.
