The Universe in a Teardrop

from After the End by Joustene Lorenz

/

about

We live with worried minds in troubled times. Beyond the noise and fury there may be love enough for our dreams. Inspired by Gorecki’s ‘Symphony of Sorrowful Songs’, I wanted to redeem the sadness in something more sublime—a lullaby for lovers.

lyrics

The Universe in a Teardrop

1.
The universe in a teardrop,
The evening mists that follow me,
The draping arms of a eucalypt,
The heave and groaning of the sea.
2.
The noise and fury of the world beyond,
The captive cadence of a bluebird’s song,
The troubled times and worried minds,
We’ll leave them all behind.

CHORUS
So hush my love,
Take my hand,
Hold me close
And dream this night away.

3.
The universe in your fingertips,
The stars are shining through your eyes,
Eternity in the darkening sky,
The timeless beauty of your life.

4.
The world that whispers through your pain,
The broken prism of your faith,
The fears and tears of troubled times,
We’ll leave them all behind.

CHORUS
So hush my love,
Take my hand,
Hold me close
And dream this night away.

So hush my love,
Take my hand,
Hold me close
And dream this night away.
