Lullaby

Voices faded within silent night
Fallen beyond the cover of twilight

Nightingale song comforts me still
Under midnight’s dark wing
Writing a dream upon my eyes

A heart of the night sings me to sleep
Through the sea, my cradle
Swaying upon the dawn of times
All beautiful worlds beyond
Written to sleep till summer’s end
To awaken me when December comes

Silent ocean, wistful waters
Quivering beneath
Horizon weak dream
A frozen tear in his eye

Before dawn rusts in sundown’s call
You will see what’s lost within
The shore, the dream
Hearing a lullaby I sing through your soul

Nightingale sings you a lullaby
I used to write for you every night
Singing my dreams to your heart
