Lyrics
the wind returns into the night
above the earth in a mist-hidden sleep
a shadow remains at the edge of the sudden glow
frightened by the flashing of the light down below
out of the chasm the dawn staggered stretching
and out of the stillness an echo was sounded
the fire it climbed to the roof of the sky where it burned
a shaft of light it shattered the clouds
and out of this numerous masked angels danced
in procession from intricate darkness
they beckoned to me and you
broken by the echo of the dawn
and the wind returns into the night
upon its wings rides the shadow breeze
it flies along the edge of broken dreams
haunted by the image of the flight and the glow
off and from mountainsides leaping
we danced thru the forest the leaves the trees
and imagined a voice that told us to follow the wind
shall I remember the children at play
or the birds' skipping skitter in the morning's first rain
or the wind's intense whisper as screamed out a warning
to me and you
reflected by the shadow of the dawn
and the wind returns into the night
and from the path descends the ghosts
some pleading with the keeper of the gate
while others know and choose to wait in silence
remember the soft distant transparent morning
when the darkness was touched by the brown sparrow's singing
round ringing of bells and the joy when the morning stood still
the wind returns into the night
a path is lit by the lanterns' dim glow
at once they fade and merge with other flames
leaving only the vaguest pattern of thoughts and dreams
dreams of children singing their voices
floating twisting out of the garden
forming a bridge from the light to the darkness
and now I see the other side
where children lift their hands and try to hide
their faces worn by the memory of sorrow
some crying eyes covered but still undiscovered
some trying to be real but frequently failing like me and you
left with only the silence of the rain and the wind
