Darkness Fell

And so she woke up from a dream
That was beautiful and starry and oh, so wild
It was all still clear in her eyes
And though her mind was foggy
And blank she wondered why
Her life couldn't be as lovely
It was time

There was this king, he had no castle or throne
But his horse was great and white
He rode alone and he liked it that way
But when he met her, he swore
He would never leave her side

They rode across the land
Two lovers hand in hand
And no danger could come near
And when something made her cry
She'd look at him teary eyed
And he would make her feel better
Oh, so much better, so much better than before

And now this forest was their home
It was a night time
And the right time for love
In the dark
She placed her hand upon his chest
And then all the rest just flowed
Makin' love down under an ancient far away night

It was so grand just holdin' someone's hand
And now safety came naturally
It was so clear that she would never
Ever have to fear

Oh, tell me a story of magic and spiralling ships
And stars in the night
Just whisper in my ears
Make it soft but make it clear
I wanna hear every breath you say

And now this forest was there home
It was a night time
And the right time for love
In the dark
She placed his hand upon her breast
And then all the rest just flowed
Makin' love down under an ancient far away night

But she woke up from the land
Tears falling in her hands
As she looked up askin', "Why?"
She laid back in her bed
Thoughts raising in her head
"Why can't my life be beautiful?", she said
Yeah, as she closed her eyes again
Just prayin' he'd return
But only darkness fell upon her
