Far Away and Long Before

IF You Choose To Go By Night

If you choose to go by night

Cross silent water, stars your guide

To a far & unknown shore

I will sing you there

 

If you need to lose yourself

In foreign fields & sunlit skies

Where so many fell before

I will find you there

 

If in your wisdom you are blind

To all who glitter & that which shines

Through forbidden tears of mine

I will be your eyes

 

If you roll the loaded dice

Onto the green which lies unseen

& cheat the tricks of fate

The hour may be late, so wake me as I wait

 

If you choose to go by night

Cross silent water, stars your guide

To a far & unknown shore

I will sing you there
