Orpheus

I fly high tonight,
a child of the skies
Looking long for my beautiful view
On the cool breeze I rest
a young herald of the west
I sing the night’s sound, my feet
never touch the ground

Though I know I may not let it show
I was born long ago
When I’s a child I spent time acting old
Things were different then
in a old world without end
I long to see the sun rise high again

The nights are a beautiful friend
when you can’t see ’round the bend
Don’t know how it’s gonna end, I’m no wise man
But I’ve seen so far,
’cross the land I’ve flown, hoping
In her loving arms I can make a home

Rise high, tonight
Rise high in the sky
I’ve long heard the chimes ring at midnight
Rise high, tonight
Rise high in the sky
I’ll wait here for you through darkest night

I still recall the dawn
that rose from the eastern shores
Long ago I know though it stays in my mind
Like me, these dreams,
they set and rest in the west
I’m holding tight for the light as you smile through the stars of the night.

Rise high, tonight
Rise high in the sky
I’ve long heard the chimes ring at midnight
Rise high, tonight
Rise high in the sky
I’ll wait here for you through darkest night
