lyrics

I Kiss The Night

I kiss the night so dark and warm
I breath, and watch and wait for dawn
The doors are locked, the fires low
I feel you close beside me now

The northern stars are so clear tonight
All my life I've never seen them burn so bright
The planets turn across the sky
I breath and watch and wait for day

A little spark, the ember glows
We'll feed that flame until it grows
A burning sun so far away
Is coming closer every day

Trust me now it'll be alright
Now we're here we'll never need to fear the night
A shooting star will guide the way
I breath and watch and wait for day

A tiny seed so dark and warm
Is waiting softly for the dawn
The arms are crossed the eyes are closed
The leaves are waiting to unfold

And now the dawn brings a little light
Still an hour or two before the sun will rise
The coming storm can wait awhile
So dream, and wait for day

Words Ray Cooper
Music Ray Cooper/traditional / Jämtland Bridal March traditional

The song was inspired by the Swedish bridal march played so beautifully by Patrik Andersson, that starts and ends the song.
Sometimes I don't sleep at night, but that's OK.
