The road is grey
With silver shadows.
The way is dark.
I cannot
See my footsteps falling on the cobbles at my feet.
And I walk,
A lonely wand'rer.
Searching dusk and daylight when I know not what I seek.
Yet through this night
The stars will guide me.
Through this hour
When the dark is thick and wild,
I will seek
The silver starlight
And their drops of diamond frost will kiss this child
And I know
I'll find my way
Home by the stars.
The mists are cold.
They cling and whisper.
My lonely
Heart will yearn to hold their voices, though I know they lie.
And I walk,
The child of twilight,
Seeking long forgotten faces in a velvet sky.
The night has come
In ribboned sable.
And my feet
Still must hunt the weary road.
I will seek
The silver starlight,
And the whisper of its memory will lighten my heart's load.
And I know,
I'll find my hope
In the bright stars.
There is a time
Between the waking
And the sleep
Of golden children dreaming of a world they never see.
And in the breath
That spans the knowing
I have watched one thousand nevers slowly come to be.
Red as war,
And white as hunger.
Life and death,
Are but shadows on the wall.
So I will seek
The silver starlight,
And the song of ages in the heavens' hall.
And I know
I'll find my song
Within the stars.
