I Do Not Need the Light
cradle me in your comfort , night
hide me in your dark corners
for I no longer need the light
keep me hidden from all sight
sign no hymns in consolation
cradle me in your comfort, night
there need be no candles bright
no shadows on my bosom fall
for I no longer need the light
for this lone road be my right
this dear passage I have earned
cradle me in your comfort, night
alone the falcon on his flight
soaring on it's endless quest
for I no longer need the light
In quiet comfort wrap me tight
there be peace behind the door
cradle me in your comfort, night
for I no longer need the light
