Originally a 3/4ths waltz that sounded like something coming from a carousel, this one stumped me for a while until I eventually switched it to 4/4, and turned again to the gospel of John and Christ's speech at the last supper for inspiration.

Recording:

Track 1: Acoustic guitar
2: 12-string guitar
3-4: vocals

Lyrics:

In the dying of the evening
I will come to comfort you
Calling out the gentle word
The world cannot receive

Not deceiving, all in earnest -
“Oh, my friend, my life for you!”
Keep me in your heart and you will
Always have a friend

Love
Love as I’ve loved you
In patience and in truth
And you will know the way

On the hill beneath the mountain
I will make a home in you
Like the vine that drapes the meadow
I rejoice in you

Peace I leave you, peace I give you
Not as though the world can give
In the world is persecution
In you there is peace

Love
Love as I’ve loved you
In patience and in truth
And you will know the way

Love
Love as I’ve loved you
The spirit guides you through
so you will know the way
