Fire Grown Weary

Now the sun
Is fire grown weary
In the quiet evening
Of my youth.

So come the stars
Slowly piercing the sky's blue
Calling the earth home
To rest in quiet

It was fear
Driving my hands as I fell
Screaming a forgotten name
Falling into myself

They threw daisies
As I was given a place
In the quiet evening
When the sun
Is fire grown weary
