• Dark Rivers

    Dark rivers
    Flow in hazel eyes
    Lost in the darkness
    That has enclosed her life

    Poor child
    Woe is me for you
    Unable to help
    Least you sink in doom

    Oh, dear child
    Your laughter, cracked and chilled
    I see your empty smile
    So longing to be filled

    Until at last poor child
    You’ve wandered home to me
    Sobbing hard in comforts embrace
    Your woe is pain to see

    Dark rivers
    Fade from hazel eyes
    I only know that I can ask
    Dear, have sweet dreams tonight
