By the time you’re reading this I hope you feel no pain
Relief is found in silver lined clouds to wash over you like rain
Go to sleep
Count the stars
Cradled in my arms
But by the time you’re reading this you’re probably far from home
You kill two birds and fought their flight with nothing but a stone
I’ll carry the reminder
And I’ll carry you home if you let go of all the burdens you’ve ever known
They’ve found peace now
As have you
Please go gently
Into that night
At the time of writing this you’ve fallen at your feet
But in our pride this lion heart shall not admit defeat
At first blush of march's moon
Spring was in your step
But at the time of writing this farther time has failed you
Though fire burns on we all know glowing embers die and fade too
There are too many words wrapped round my tongue
But you hear the music to your ears my heart as sung all for you my love
Now it’s goodbye
Please go gently
Into that night
Please go gently
Into that night
