Sundown Dwells On Leaves

Sundown plays on leaves
Far beyond all restless seas
A king sails back to his realm

Sundown dwells on leaves
I close my eyes and see
The same dream, a fantasy
Flowing deep in my mind
Far across to the heart of desire

Long for a dream, but bound to the lust
Beneath the castles of the one from the past
Watching me in the midnight moon dance

Starlight glows through the dream
Unveiling that feasting realm
Rivers of ale and wine
Flows with gold and red tides

Starlight sings through the dream
Lullaby dwells deep in a stream
Singing me to sleep
On silver blanket of king’s fantasy
A lonely part of his heart’s memory

Sundown dwells on leaves
Singing me a lullaby of eternity and moonlit nights
Starlight embraces me before I fall into a dream
