at twilight I’ll wrap you with satin angel wings
to lift you into the night where the stars sing
and everything I was will be left below
where the haters hate and the knowers know
my sleepy thoughts dance with the man in the moon
to forget the regrets of a life of wounds
and tempt my heart to hold you near
away from the ones who love in fear
at twilight we’ll stretch our arms and soar
to chase our dreams to a distant shore
where the crickets play their fiddle songs
and the mermaids laugh away our wrongs
but the hours pass and the sleepers sleep
and dream their dreams of silent peace
to wake up new and make fresh lies
and watch their lives slowly fade inside
at twilight I’ll take you back again
to forget the haters that we have been
and gaze into each other’s eyes
where the lovers love and hate goodbyes
