My Love, Who Dreams In Death Lyrics

In the quiet of her endless night

Where shadows kiss the pale moonlight

She lies so still, her breath long ceased

In dreamless sleep, in dark release

The flowers fade beside her tomb

Their petals weep beneath the gloom

Oh, sleeper dear, where have you gone

To worlds beyond, where dawn is none

The stars that shine cannot compare

To the stillness of your shadowed stare

The world above, it spins in vain

While you lie cold beneath the rain

No song can wake your hollow eyes

No lover's plea can pierce the skies

Yet here I sit, in sorrow bound

To mourn the heart beneath the ground

The lilies bend where shadows creep

Guardians of your endless sleep

No sun will rise to warm the grave

No light can touch the love I gave

I watch the stars grow faint and pale

As whispers ride the mournful gale

Oh, sleeper dear, do you not hear

My heart still beats to hold you near

Sleep, my love, in silence deep

In moonlit veil, forever sleep

Your heart no longer wakes to sigh

No tear to fall, no soft goodbye

The winds they mourn with whispered breath

For you, my love, who dreams in death

Oh, could I join you in your rest

Lay my heart beside your chest

No voice of fear, no hand of time

Could steal you from this love of mine

But I must wait, in aching gloom

Until I too, find peaceful doom

Sleep, my love, the night is long

The world forgets our quiet song

I will keep your name alive

In every tear I can't survive

And when the day fades to the dusk

I'll find you there, in dreams, we trust

Forever sleep, forevermore

The night is yours, the night is yours
