Dark Waters

DARK WATERS

Written By: J.R HILTON

2017

SETTING SUN SINKING BELOW THE HORIZON

SEALING ANOTHER DAY, MEMORIES IN GOLD

FEATHER PILLOWS NEATH MY HEAD 

I COUNT THE STARS INSTEAD

NIGHTHAWK CALLING SWIFT IN HIS FLIGHT

THEN SILENCE RETURNS TO THE NIGHT

FAIRIES LIGHT THE WOODS 

AS THE SANDMAN MAKES HIS ROUNDS

SWIRLING DARK WATERS BENEATH THE TREES

PAINTED BY MOONLIGHT AND GENTLE BREEZE

MIDNIGHT CHARGES UP THE WITCHING HOUR

TWILIGHT BURNS THE MIST 

FALLING STAR MILKY WAY

GALAXIES BEYOND ALL THIS

IN MY DREAMS

IT'S REAL BUT IT'S NOT REAL

DRIFTING IN AND OUT

UNTIL THE NEW LIGHT OF DAWN FINDS ME

PEEKING THROUGH THE CURTAINS

RUSTLING IN THE BREEZE

DANCING ON THE WALL

AND MY SLEEPY EYES SEE IT ALL

WIDE AWAKE WITH MY EYES CLOSED

THOUGHTS REPLACE THE DREAMS

COMING BACK TO LIFE ONE BREATH AT A TIME

FOOTSTEPS IN THE HALL

 A NEW DAY TO CONQUER 

ANOTHER CHANCE TO HAVE IT ALL

CRAZY WORLD CRAZY LIFE

ALL YOU CAN DO IS HOPE IT ALL WORKS OUT RIGHT

LIKE THE FOUR WINDS

MERCY AND A LITTLE LUCK

AND I WON'T FEEL LIKE I'M STUCK

NO TWO SUNSETS ARE THE SAME

SOMETIMES A RAINBOW RIGHT AFTER THE RAIN

MOONS MANY FACES HIDING IN THE CLOUDS

NO CONTROL LET IT GO UNTIL IT STOPS

 WATCHING CLOUDS GO BY

FORMING SHAPES I RECOGNISE

TUMBLING OVER AND OVER THROUGH THE SKY

ON A WEST WIND BLOWING
