Tice's Song

From Empire's Daughter

The swallows gather, summer passes,

The grapes hang dark and sweet;

Heavy are the vines,

Heavy is my heart,

Endless is the road beneath my feet.

The sun is setting, the moon is rising,

The night is long and sweet;

I am gone at dawn.

I am gone at day,

Endless is the road beneath my feet.

The cold is deeper, the winters longer,

Summer is short but sweet;

I will remember,

I’ll not forget you,

Endless is the road beneath my feet.
