Departing
from skies blue to grey,
Oh
peaceful one, sleepy one, dreamy one, hopeful one,
Rest
a while on shores of summer's day.
Dreamy
one dream, dream a little while,
The
colours of the fields will sustain you one more mile.
Hopeful
one hope, even if it is to borrow,
For
hear the birds are singing,
New
life comes on the moro.
See
there the sun-kissed roses,
That
bloom amongst the forest,
Beyond
the hills with misty eyes,
See
the birds fly,
Oh
see the birds fly.
Close
your eyes and hear the memory,
Of
a tune from long ago;
Close
your hand upon my hand again,
The
sea sings a fond hello.
Will
you let me hold you gently?
Will
you let me be beside you when you ache?
Will
you let me brush my fingers upon your cheek and see you smile in
their wake?
Will
you let me show you softly how to walk the ragged shore?
Will
you let me take your hand in mine,
Lead
you to the open door?
Can
you trust this hand that leads you?
Can
you trust I know your name?
Can
you trust that though you know not mine,
I'll
ne'er forget you all the same?
