Bonnie “Prince” Billy
My Life’s Work
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
