Of a thousand nights of visions granted,
I long for the shade of night to pull me in.
Bringing me a warmth of hope implanted
In the lovely dreams I love to rest in.
At the foot of the stair in a stranger's home, I'm all but caught off guard
As I recall all my visions At a glimpse of you from afar
Why should I dream again? Light of day has brought me in
Why should I sleep and leave my love now my heart's in love with living?
You stare at me as the very same thoughts
Declare the same longing we have sought.
As I follow each breath as if it were my own
I'm cursed to keep our love unknown
Then I planned to take you away with me
I escaped, but you never joined me to be free
Of a thousand nights of visions granted,
I long for the shade of night to pull me in.
Bringing me a warmth of hope implanted
In the lovely dreams I love to rest in.
