Compromise (song with recording)

Oh clerk in black, swinging away with your silent blade;
the morning grass never stood a chance and it's far too late.
Could I trouble you for a word? It's just that, lately I have heard,
that you've come so far with the lonely task to take my sunshine away.
Have you not a beating heart? Or even skin to feel the drought
of the icy touch your presence brings to this Summer's day?

I'd love it so, to have her here - oh how sweet love tastes,
before the thread is cut and bitter flows turn dark hairs grey.
May I ask that you return? Or even that you take me first;
just as long as you let me let her know that I'm not far away.
Could you let me see her face? Or let us share a last embrace,
before you cut us short like the grass you mowed in this empty place?

Would you consider what I say? I beg you, please, just let her stay.
This heart can only break so much before you're back here again.

My apologies for the bad quality and shaky vocals - first time singing this out loud and first chance I had being home alone to record it :)
