I traced the stars upon your skin A fragile map of where you've been Each breath, a moment slipping past Holding on, but time won't last The echoes fade, the silence grows But love is something time can't close Even though your soul must fly Your whispered light will never die So rest now, my love, let the night take you home Where the rivers run quiet, where the stars have all known That the weight you have carried can finally fall And I'll hold on my love, I'll remember it all Your voice, a ghost upon the air A melody that lingers there I speak your name in empty rooms Hoping echoes reach to you The echoes fade, the silence grows But love is something time can't close Even though your soul must fly Your whispered light will never die So rest now, my love, let the night take you home Where the rivers run quiet, where the stars have all known That the weight you have carried can finally fall And I'll hold on my love, I'll remember it all I feel you in the golden haze In the wind that calls my name Though the darkness may take you far You are never gone, you are never far So rest now, my love… let the night take you home… I will hold you in the dawn…
