Deep in the Night

Abigail Washburn

Deep in the night
I hear the darkness
Bones tell the body
rest in its arms
I hear the calling
of life's sweet embrace
resting too soon

Deep in the night
I feel the stardust
Blue tells the heavens
fall from the sky
I feel the shadows
of time's own longing
falling away

Deep in the night
I pray a candle
to tell the snowfall
wait for sunrise
I pray a halo
of man's cold morning
holds to the light

I pray a halo
of man's cold morning
holds thru the night
