When the sun comes up, a stranger from the east
And my mind awakens, from slumber it has been released
When the skies are painted blue by the morning light
And the world opens its eyes, kept closed by night
When the breeze touches my cheek, letting go without warning
And rain falls to the ground, Heaven in mourning
I hope you remain in my head, I hope you stay
I hope the days next do not take you away
When the moon leaves this place, riding west
And my heart dances, refusing to rest
When the stars are dropped, heavy pearls of light
And the street loses feet, all out of sight
When the chill touches my shoulder, with its bitter hand
And the crickets chirp, sounds only they understand
I pray they remain in my mind, I pray but still, I am embraced by fear
I pray the hours next do not make them disappear
When the ravens leave their nests, and migrate south
And bees feed, sitting in a poppy's mouth
When the clouds greet me, as they stroll above my head
And my body loses its weight, light lead
When fogs stretch out, covering the land
And my finger is chained by a heavy strand
I hope we remain in my head, I hope we last
I hope the minutes next do not make us one with the past
When the ice arrives, welcomed by the north
And darkness looks for warmth, crawling forth
When rivers run towards the seven seas
And leaves let go of weeping trees
When the mirror shows a different face
And my soul wanders, searching for another place
I pray I remain in my mind, I pray yet I am afraid
I pray the seconds next do not make me fade
