Stroke Of Lost Hope

Before the night dwells beyond
My heart will fly above
Over the green into the blue
To reach the morning dew
Sweet and cold
Somewhere in the other corner of the world

Dawn will sing upon the meadow
And take me to the edge of the day
Shining all troubles away

Sundown will tell the story of long-gone times
Far away beyond the broken shores
Of lost dreams and shattered worlds

I read the verses long-forgotten
Strokes of ever lost hope
Veil of time, tale of home stolen
Song of misty mountains far and cold

I whisper a wish to the wind
Because I know wind will take my words away
Across the sea and far over the hill

I tell my heart to an old oak
Its leaves will keep my dream alive
Until the end of days with one last stroke

Dawn will sing a dream through old days
Sundown will caress a hope still
Reviving old wishes of me
As I dance in cascading starlit waves

Tell me a story, whisper me to sleep
Sing me a memory of long-forgotten world
Let me see you now in my dream
