(soft humming with distant wind and ember ambience) Verse 1 No night lasts forever Though the dark may linger long Even weary stars keep burning Until the coming dawn The fire still glows softly here Beneath the quiet air And every trembling restless thing Is held gently somewhere Chorus So rest now… slowly… Let your breathing come undone The sky has carried heavier storms And still awakened to the sun No sorrow stays unchanging No shadow keeps its hold forever Even the longest coldest night Cannot outlive the morning weather Verse 2 The bells drift softly in the wind The willow bends outside Moonflowers close their silver petals Awaiting morning light No need to fear tomorrow now No need to keep watch alone The earth still turns beneath your feet Even when hope feels gone Bridge Some nights ask only this of us: To endure gently until morning arrives Final Chorus So close your tired eyes tonight And let the darkness pass through slowly There is kindness still awaiting you Beyond the edges of your sorrow And though your heart feels heavy now The dawn still waits beyond the trees No night lasts forever No matter how endless it may seem Ending (soft layered humming with distant bells and early birdsong beginning faintly) Mmmmm… Morning comes… Mmmmm…
