First Light of the Morning
"¨I wished that you were"¨
the first light of the morning
"¨But it was only a train signal shining behind me
"¨"¨The narrow grey railway line split the dark valley
"¨The 6am moon showed her face in my bracelet"¨
and crowded stars sang to her radiant chorus"¨"¨
They lit up the silver wood gatepost where I lent and I wrote
"¨"I think I might love you now""¨"¨
Under dark silken skies of December
"¨I walked across fields that knew my name
"¨I walked beneath stars that knew the pain in my heart"¨
I walked between trees that knew my start and my ending
"¨"¨On a quiet Christmas morning"¨
I sang back to my valley and I asked her kindly for a miracle"¨"¨
And I wished that you would be
"¨the first light of the morning
