Transitory Times de Sylvan

When the sleep at night missed our rendez-vous
Like an orphaned child I am watching you
When I lie awake and I bide my time
Through the cold you warm, through the dark you shine

Then I close my eyes and lose you
Think of days without you near
From this nightmare – cold and unsure
I verify that you’re still here

Cover me with calm tonight
To freeze these transitory times

When I wake at night from a restless sleep
And the mists of dreams loosen hold from me
For a second then fear to be alone
When I hear you breathe all my fears are gone

Then I close my eyes and lose you
Think how lonely it would be
Can a dream just last forever?
You’re such a precious gift to me …
