Night Between Us

The guitar is in a darkened room
Broken strings, like a heart can break
Certain chords can make you feel like rainfall
Rain fall over all of our mistakes

There are times when there are unknown reasons
Unseen hands in the shadowplay
Shadowland has put the night between us
We demand the return of day

Little one, don't you stray from me
Stray so far from the waking light
You will find that we are always with you
With you now, in the darkest night

Searching through all the fossil records
Walking with pockets full of stones
Ancient ones cast upon the lakeshore
Little one, we've got to get you home

So what do you dream when you're still so young
That you haven't seen much of the world?
And how do you seem to be older than me
When you're just a little girl?
And where were you before you were born?
And how can I say I don't know?
If we all go somewhere,
Then we must have been somewhere
That was more than a lifetime ago

There's a tree in a timeless story
Leaves like hands pulling down the stars
One could say that all the stars are dreams
And you make true every one of ours
