Touchstone
When shadows fall where you lie sleeping
In that dark hour before the dawn
Your breathing calm, your lone heart beating
Give me the strength to carry on

My darling one, you are my touchstone
My guiding light when I’m alone
Your love shines through this world’s obstruction
The road to you’s my journey home

My heart’s been claimed since we came together
The girl I was I can’t recall
Your love has changed me for the better
The way that love can changе us all

My darling one, you are my touchstone
My guiding light whеn I’m alone
Your love shines through this world’s obstruction
The road to you’s my journey home

And when that sad day comes upon us
When one must go and one stays behind
Then we will know we kept love’s promise
And wasted not our precious time

My darling one, you are my touchstone
My guiding light when I’m alone
Your love shines through this world’s obstruction
The road to you’s my journey home
