The Night Sky
Under the cover of darkness
I will show you the way
It’s a lesson I will teach you blind
It’s a sequence that you
will learn and never forget
To keep my promise
I will wrap you in my cloak all night!
I will help you escape the chaos
that consumes you
And cherish you from dusk to dawn
Wandering with you on a path to fill that void
I am the night that engulfs you,
a roof to your home!
And at dusk, your command I will abide
You can hear me in those dark overtones
Whispers of shadows as they speak
I am the coal that waits to burn in your eyes!
I will hold all of your secrets, wrapped up
In sparking stars tonight
I will twinkle and wait for you to decide
When you remove those blinds
At dawn and let in the light!
