Still Calling Out My Name

Описание: Still Calling Out My Name / Silent Horizon by Paul Yates

[Verse 1]
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me — you understand,
It will be late to counsel then or pray.

[Chorus]
When the storms are at their worst
Still hope is heard above the rain
A quiet voice that never breaks
Still calling out my name

[Verse 2]
Hope is the thing that lives inside
It sings when words are hard to find
Even in the coldest night
It never leaves my side

[Chorus]
When the storms are at their worst
Still hope is heard above the rain
A quiet voice that never breaks
Still calling out my name

[Bridge]
If you forget me for a while
And then remember, don’t be sad
Better you smile and live your life
Than hold the pain we had

[Final Chorus]
When the storms are at their worst
Still hope is heard above the rain
A quiet voice that never breaks
Still calling out my name

"Based on
Christina Rossetti — “Remember”
Emily Dickinson — hope poems (especially “Hope is the thing with feathers”)

Influenced by Christina Rossetti’s restraint in remembrance and Emily Dickinson’s conception of hope as a quiet, enduring force, “Still Calling Out My Name” reframes elegy as continuity rather than loss.
These versions are in the public domain."
