Forever and a Day
Ethan Rayne, to Rupert Giles.
Once upon a time, so long ago
You asked me to turn from all that I know
You said walk with me from the gray to the light
And so I turned to you, didn't run, didn't fight
Oh, on the day you walked out
It was my heart that stayed with you
It was my soul that walked, from me, away
Twisting me from the cold light of day
The darkness, she is my comfort
The shadows, they are my home
Yet I wished that you could have stood beside me
Kept me from having to turn, to roam
What must I do, if I want you by my side?
How can I prove that my love can survive?
Why can't you trust me?
Why can't you stay?
Oh if I could take my place beside you
Then it's there that I would stay
I'd cross with you, over the river of forever
Emerging at your side, into a new day.
