Hours Children Sleep

Tears without a past, hold their hand
Shiny and unhaunted, close your eyes

Ears to your heartbeat, eyes to your soul
An angel drifts to heaven, peaceful when they know

There are stars in the deep, deep dark
(The hours children sleep)
On they shine so warm, so kind
(The hours children sleep)
Dreaming hearts beating in the dark
(The hours children sleep)

Fingers tickle spirits, laugh with them
Smile waxes crescent, then gone again

Ears to your heartbeat, eyes to your soul
An angel drifts to heaven, peaceful when they know

There are stars in the deep, deep dark
(The hours children sleep)
On they shine so warm, so kind
(The hours children sleep)
Dreaming hearts beating in the dark
(The hours children sleep)

Have you come, dear shadow?
To join us beneath the blue light
The smallest stage awaits your embrace, set that spark ablaze, set their heart at ease, the hours children sleep

Ears to your heartbeat, eyes to your soul
An angel drifts to heaven, peaceful when they know

There are stars in the deep, deep dark
(The hours children sleep)
On they shine so warm, so kind
(The hours children sleep)
Dreaming hearts beating in the dark
(The hours children sleep)
On they shine so warm, so kind
(The hours children sleep)
Dreaming hearts beating in the dark
(The hours children sleep)
