Will You…?

Child’s cry breaks the night
Again my silent shelter’s been broken
For a dream of one moment’s life
My heart remains unspoken, still frozen
Deep in the shadows of the night

Who will caress me at night?
Who will sing me a lullaby?
The same wordless verse dwelling in time
Silent melody embraced by nameless rhyme

Who will shelter me from the dark bound?
Who will dream me through this madness coiling around?
A midnight memory, dark chamber’s fantasy

Will you cover me with your love
To recall the deepest sigh?
Will you comfort me in your heart
To dream of gardens in bloom
Northern hope of fresh morn dew
Will you keep me for you?

In darkness I’ll light your heart
Through the silence I’ll sing your fears apart
But will you save my heart from the storm
That made me believe I’m here alone?

Who will shelter me from the dark bound?
Who will dream me through this madness coiling around?
A midnight memory, dark chamber’s fantasy

Will you dare to save a dream still coiling in me?
Will you be mine 
Till the last breath of time?
