Understand
To relive the memory of you
To begin a new tomorrow whom
Speaks its secrets only to
Gentle dreamers sleeping through
The weight of heavens sands of light
Reawakening a dying light
As the breath of angels agree
And so it is, it is to be
Oh the holy virgins softly sing
To elders lives tightly holding
To look into your tender stare
And wish that I could be right there
When you open your dreams to life
And let me where your loving tries
To give all the joy that it can shine
I long for you to be mine
