Insight In Sight



As the wind blows I can feel you
In the moonlight your figure I can see
As the darkness fades so do you
The sun rises to set you free

As fear creeps into my heart
A shiver is sent to my spine
As the darkness is about to start
The clock strikes nine

As the sun sets you return to me
Like a moth attracted by light
As I try to capture you within me
You're drawn in without a fight

As the new relationship we amend
At night I walk in your footsteps
As the darkness comes to and end
In daylight I slumber in your shadow
