Long night

This is for my Grandpa - and my Mum, who is with him tonight. I have no other words, but the song is swirling in my head.

======================

Long night
This is what it all comes to
Oh, long night
This is what we all go through
Oh, long night
Another friend is gone
Oh, long night
Leaving us to carry on

Death is a mighty uniter
The defeat that comes to every fighter
Live on--the dawn will be brighter
Live on, live on, live on

--- Rawlins Cross (1993)
