40 Rhythms
Walking with her shadow
I danced with an angel on a starry night
On a cloud in a misty dream
Floating through the mist and trance
Her face alit with a piercing beam
I caught a glimpse of her glimmering eyes
They looked so much like the stars
I was too afraid to hold her hand
As we danced away on wet blue grass
A million stars and a crescent moon
Shone above all through the night
The mountain peaks in misty clouds
Were hidden beyond my flimsy sight
I watched the stars and mountain mist
With the dawning sunbeams disappear
But love endured in a broken heart
And drowned it in a brackish tear
Shadows of angels shine in the dark
In daylight they burn like a blazing fire
