Under The Dales

Far beyond the edge of midnight
I see the spark of time
Glowing beneath the promise of skies
Like pure glitter of autumn stars

When last night of autumn ends
This real will fall
Lost memory of home fades
Beyond the dream
As I still hear
The withering call
Of endless time flowing away

A kiss of memory will shine above with stars
I feel the glow within this heart
It dwells deep in your eyes

Lust lures us
Enticing deeper into the dark
As we betray the purest heart
Forgetting the ones
Who left behind

Love guides us
Into the dawning light
Over the edge of night
To fly above the stars
Quivering still with waves of time

Home rests behind
The world calls ahead
As we dream of memories high

Over the hills and under the valley
Our road lies
Through the woods runs a long-forgotten way
Taking us back to the stars
I see again sparkling deep in blue eyes

Heart dreams of love
Mind curses the truth
As if one pain was never enough

All dreams turn to ashes pale
Recalling a thought of starlit nights
In fields and under the dales
All the memories shared with silver moon
Dwelling in sapphire eyes
My dearest fantasy of you
