Ignorant to passing time <br />Reality strikes its deafening chime <br />Unspoken words pass between <br />I and you, my darling queen <br /> <br />Lay your weary head to rest <br />With your arms across your chest <br />Now it's time to close your eyes <br />Whisper your final goodbyes <br /> <br />Let me go, we'll both be free <br />Cross the wasteland, past the sea <br />Find the path to heaven's light <br />Break away from endless night <br /> <br />Embracing tears of bitter pain <br />Falling lightly with the rain <br />Out of reach, I hear your song <br />Alone again, I sing along <br /> <br />Let me go, we'll both be free <br />Cross the wasteland, past the sea <br />Find the path to heaven's light <br />Break away from endless night <br /> <br />From the night... <br />I watched your velvet wings take flight <br />I never saw you so alive <br />So alive <br />I watched your velvet wings take flight <br />I'll never ever say goodbye <br />Never say goodbye <br /> <br />Life has ended, you have won <br />Death befriended, pain is gone <br />Fly away into the light <br />Crystal clear and shining bright <br />Close your eyes for final rest <br />Meeting among the blessed <br /> <br />Let me go, we'll both be free <br />Cross the wasteland, past the sea <br />Find the path to heaven's light <br />Break away from endless night <br /> <br />From the night... <br />I watched your velvet wings take flight <br />I never saw you so alive <br />So alive <br />I watched your velvet wings take flight <br />I'll never ever say goodbye <br />Never say goodbye <br /> <br />I let you go so you'll be free <br />Cross the path of darkened sea <br />I watched your velvet wings take flight <br />I can never say goodbye <br />Never say goodbye<br /><br />Xena Terrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/velvet-wings/
