[Verse 1] I watch him sleep beneath the stars tonight His steady heart beats in the pale moonlight I crave his soul but not to make him mine He’s the warmth I lost through endless time [Chorus] But he won’t drink the crimson wine Won’t walk with me through endless time Still I’ll stay in shadows deep Guard his dreams while he’s asleep [Verse 2] His laughter breaks my centuries of pain A fleeting spark in this eternal rain I touch his world but leave no trace to find Bound by love that haunts this heart of mine [Chorus] But he won’t drink the crimson wine Won’t walk with me through endless time Still I’ll stay in shadows deep Guard his dreams while he’s asleep [Bridge] I’d trade forever for a single day To feel the sunlight where he loves to stay But I’m cursed to linger where the shadows grow A silent ghost in the world he’ll never know [Chorus] But he won’t drink the crimson wine Won’t walk with me through endless time Still I’ll stay in shadows deep Guard his dreams while he’s asleep
