Silk

Red silk like tears
                        upon my face
                        leave me in
                        this restless peace
                        Without your hand
                        to guide me sleep
                        I cannot will
                        my strength to keep

                        Black silk like sorrow
                        brings you near
                        the road runs narrow
                        paved with care
                        Within fate's grasp
                        I lay to rest
                        the doubting cost
                        of faithlessness

                        White silk like love
                        makes your bride
                        a distant joy
                        will bring new life
                        Visions and dreams
                        will find their place
                        and finally know
                        the choice we made
