Lyrics
I COULD HAVE SWORN
I saw a falcon fly
It flew as fast as time
I thought it carried my memories
All my years on its wings
Across a mountainside
I saw the harvest moon rise
Autumn season in the night sky
The psalm says our days are like a breath
A fleeting shadow across our eyes
And I could have sworn
I saw you in the sea of stars
Dancing in the light
I heard a sycamore tree
Whisper as its leaves
Fell as slowly as a Sabbath day
Their work is done
They can finally rest in peace
I heard a chickadee
Calling out to me
Like a Kaddish echoed across the cold and barren woods
A prayer or a plea
And I could have sworn
I heard your voice in the wind
Singing in the breeze
I felt the drops of rain
Scatter down my face
As if all my tears were washed away
Just as summer has gone without a trace
And I could have sworn
I felt your hand in mine
We were together again in our place
