After drawing herself a nice hot bath, Marle slipped into the light blue silk nightgown that Paige gave her as Sister Luisa tucked Solan in. As she was about to get in bed, he began to whimper as Luisa picked him up.
"I will sing to the prince, my queen." She said, looking at Marle as she cleared her throat.
There is a place I'm longing for tonight,
A place I love so far, far away.
There lives in my heart a treasure buried deep inside,
And I'll keep wondering until I find it again someday.
Somewhere the flowers are in bloom,
A candle burning in a room.
There is comfort in the darkest night,
Even if there is no star in sight.
Every time I close my eyes it's all I see,
I am haunted by a timeless memory.
And no matter what I do or where I roam,
I will still be dreaming my way home.
Time froze but I kept moving on,
All I have loved, all I have known.
I turned around and in a moment it was gone,
Still I believe I'm never far from home.
Somewhere the flowers are in bloom,
I can almost smell their perfume.
Somewhere a candle, still burning bright,
Even if there is no star in sight.
Every time I close my eyes it's all I see,
I am haunted by a timeless memory.
And no matter what I do or where I roam,
I will still be dreaming my way home.
Marle felt her eyes fill with tears as Luisa finished singing, and kissed her son on the forehead. "Thank you, Sister." she said, closing her eyes.

Author's Note: This clearly takes place before Chapter 8 of Marle's For The Love of Darkness fic. The song 'Dreaming My Way Home' is used after you beat Gale and the Demon Battleship in Level-5's Rogue Galaxy.
