Transitory Times - Sylvan

When the sleep at night missed our rendez-vous

Like an orphaned child I am watching you

When I lie awake and I bide my time

Through the cold you warm

Through the dark you shine

Then I close my eyes and lose you

Think of days without you near

From this nightmare, cold and unsure

I verify that you’re still here

Cover me

With calm tonight

To freeze these transitory times

When I wake at night from a restless sleep

And the mists of dreams loosen hold for me

For a second then fear to be alone

When I hear you breathe all my fears are gone

Then I close my eyes and lose you

Think how lonely it would be?

Can a dream just last forever?

You’re such a precious gift to me…

Cover me

With calm tonight

To freeze these transitory times

Cover me

With calm tonight

To freeze these transitory times
