Evernight

In my dreams I can run
with the wind, in the sun
But I can't take the burning light
Like the owl and the bat,
like the wolf and the rat,
I am bound in the evernight

Evernight
I dwell in the evernight
So far from the world of day, away
And though I must say
I long for the day
No use putting up a fight
Our fate is the evernight

Mother's Love

I used to tuck you in
so you???d be safe and warm
I used to hold you to my bosom
when you were frightened by the storm

I could stand still for hours
exploring the world in your eyes
I could build you great towers
But now it???s time for goodbyes

You walk away with pride,
with your head held high
Like you could, if you only would,
reach out to the sky
and take the silvery moon
You turn, looking back once more
and suddenly my heart grows sore
And your smile makes me wonder
Did I let you go too soon?

Go safely, my child
May God send His angels
to keep you from going astray
Go bravely, my child
Follow your heart???s lead
and you will never lose your way

I used to wake you up
by gently brushing your cheek
And still, every bittersweet morning
my loving hand your hand would seek
