Verse 1 Dreams beyond the briar wait Where moonlit branches sway Silver thorns and willow leaves Guard the sleeping pathways The fire burns low behind your eyes The night grows deep and slow And every weary wandering thought Begins at last to loosen its hold Chorus So drift now… gently… Beyond the briar’s silver seam Where sorrow softens into silence And silence opens into dream The stars still keep their patient vigil Above the sleeping trees And all the restless aching things Find peace there on the breeze Verse 2 The bells grow distant through the dark Like echoes wrapped in light Moonflowers close their pale white petals Beneath the quiet sky No need to fear what waits beyond No shadow follows here Only gentle hands of sleep Drawing tired spirits near Bridge Some dreams are not an escape from sorrow But a place where sorrow finally rests Final Chorus Dreams beyond the briar bloom Soft as candle smoke at dawn And every soul once burdened deeply Wakes a little less alone So close your eyes now Let the night weave slowly through There is peace beyond the briar And it is waiting there for you Ending (soft humming fading into wind, distant bells, and night insects) Mmmmm… Dream softly… Mmmmm…
