Leave me now with the shadow of a dream

A light caress that barely touched my mind

Only a whisper yet it screamed in my ear

Never to return but I'll never forget

The mistress of death holds you dear

It's hard to believe but you've known her for years

All is done and there’s no more to say

An unspoken promise  takes you away

Touch me once and then never again

With the midnight air hanging upon your breath

Wrapped in dreams and safe from the world

In silent peace your wings unfurl

The mistress of death holds you dear

It's hard to believe but you've known her for years

All is done and there’s no more to say

An unspoken promise  takes you away

Leave me now with the shadow of a dream...
