Lampshade

By and by I come

Lampshade


The trees have so many fingers 
They reach into my soul 
The woods form an ocean 
That leaves me space to play 
The wind has a million voices 
But one I long to hear 
The waves play give and take tonight 
I surrender to their game 

A thousand times goodnight 
Come madam, let?s away 
A thousand times farewell 
Away, stay not amazed 

The sun awakes to show our deeds 
I?m kissed, I?m hit, it burns, it bleeds 
Away, stay not amazed 
Oh, by and by I come 
Come while you still can 

My eyes adjust to the sunlight 
At night I cannot see 
My skin has this lovely smell 
The smell of all your kisses 
This caring gentle summer breeze 
That tosses with my hair 
Until the rain begins to fall 
And I am wrapped up in grace 

A thousand times goodnight 
Come madam, let?s away 
A thousand times farewell 
Away, stay not amazed 

The sun awaked my eyes to see 
I?m loved, caressed, contained and free 
Away, stay not amazed 
Oh by and by I come 
A new night is today
