I hid myself from failure and fear
|
O my dear you're a threat to the bad in us all
|
They tell themselves that each word from your lips
|
Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall
|
|
All through the twilight you're listening for me
|
Darling, go to sleep
|
Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
|
Loved so deep
|
|
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
|
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
|
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
|
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
|
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
|
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight
|
|
Don't hide yourself inside till I'm old
|
O my dear you're a threat to the bad we all see
|
I'm beside myself for the touch of your lips
|
Or the grace of your eyes that can see good in me
|
|
All through the twilight you're listening for me
|
Darling, go to sleep
|
Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
|
Loved so deep
|
|
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
|
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
|
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
|
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
|
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
|
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight
