Lyrics A Common Year

A Common Year

Solstice

When the sun goes away we will hide

In the warmth of a dark summer night

In the face of what we are not ready to be

We'll sing "No, it's not our time to go"

I tried to stay

As long as I could

But moments fade

And we knew they would

And for a night

I kept everyone close enough to forget

What the next day would bring

No, it's not our time to go
