Like An Angel Passing Through My Room

Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls
In the twilight hour I am alone
Sitting near the fireplace, dying embers warm my face
In this peaceful solitude
All the outside world subduedEverything comes back to me again
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my roomHalf awake and half in dreams
Seeing long forgotten scenes
So the present runs into the past
Now and then become entwined, playing games within my mind
Like the embers as they die
Love was one prolonged goodbyeAnd it all comes back to me tonight
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room
