A Leaf-Ship

I will whisper through the night
No words of love, no oaths or promises
No more verses of broken dreams or faded hopes
I won’t beg, I won’t cry

Silently I’ll just whisper a prayer
For you I will send a wish through the sky

A little paper ship will sail to the lands so far
Right there where you are
A dreamwish will fall with a star

Autumn leaf became a letter
Silent whisper turned to prayer
Wind drifted my golden ship to far lands
Where you sleep well watching sweet dreams

I won’t call, I won’t write
Everything I wished once to hide
Just will whisper silently through the sky
A song of midnight, your sweet lullaby

Across the rivers and seas
Above the mountains and hills
My voice will flow bearing leaf-ship

And you will find it by your porch
Ship still bears light dream’s touch
And you will keep it with a kind smile
While piano writes memories through the ever flowing time
