Come Fly Away With Me, Tonight
At night when I restless lay down to sleep
Thoughts of you linger, tugging at my heart
Your spirit calls, across treadbare highways
Riding hard and fast upon a warm southern wind
Crossing asphalt, stones; meadows and vale
Over boundaries, you implore my heart, 'wait'
Arriving breathless you soothe me with caresses
Plant kisses on my lips murmuring sweet words, urging,
'Let's Fly! Come away with me, now! tonight!’
Ands two hearts entwined take flight into night
We dance to our music, with a rhythm all their own
Beneath a blanket of dazzling stars
Then soar, exploring ‘til night fades to day
Breathless, exhausted, in quietude lay
Awaiting the golden, glorious sunrise
'Let's fly! Come away with me, now! Tonight!'
Come tomorrow when the dew has settled
When no restraint is laid upon these wings
Time arrives and crystal waters will flow no more
'Til then love remains encased in a fort
Built with trust and fired by steel
Which no mortal soul can ever bridge
And hearts no more will suffer want
Our fears cast in dungeons deep
Sealed by eternal love yet burning
In spite of trials, tears and the scars
From many fierce battles two hearts emerged as one
Through fire and storms they have come
The many distractions in attempts to impede
Only fan flames of an endless love
Each night we close our eyes and dream
Awaiting the golden, glorious sunrise
