Nighttime Dreamer

NIGHTTIME DREAMER I closed my eyes to catch the wind, Murmur its way through the green of the field Hoping somehow in it I'd hear, You sigh sweetly as you oft do For your heart on a sleeve you always wore Even when life taught you to know better. I hoped to catch you softly whisper The wind, your harbinger in this silent night Spreading your tales to the drowsy larks, Who'll sing them to me at the crack of dawn Of how another held your golden heart, And was shallow enough to let it break How gold thus break?, I wonder, How a heart like yours can be led astray For sitting by my window this eerie night, I think up a thousand feverish words I'd say To melt a golden treasure, thine heart, But still I know words don't measure up So I'll love you through the quiet night, Daydreaming through the dead of night As the wind sings to me your flawless name, The leaves quivering with its every touch For in this world I can love you free And be the guardian of your golden heart.
