Wake My Love

Here's a draft of a song for Evergreen. Musically it started as an exercise in writing nonfunctional harmony. I've probably pulled this one apart and put it back together more than any other song I've made in recent memory, and I'm still not entirely sure I'm satisfied with it.

Lyrics:

Brittle fragment of a memory
Still and silent over centuries
Wake, my love, and greet me
Wake, my love, and never
never go again
Do not forsake me
Love, do not forsake me
Awaken to me
Take a breath now
Hesitation is the enemy
Every instant is a victory
Wake, my love, and greet me
Wake, my love, I swear it
I swear it can be
Everything you wanted
Everything forever
Forever's not so long
Forever's not so long
