Silent Sunlight

Silent sunlight, welcome in

There is work I must now begin

All my dreams have blown away

And the children want to play

They'll soon remember things to do

When the heart is young

And the night is done

And the sky is blue

Morning songbird, sing away

Lend a tune to another day

Bring your wings and choose a roof

Sing a song of love and truth

We'll soon remember if you do

When all things were tall

And our friends were small

And the world was new

Sleepy horses, heave away

Put your backs to the golden hay

Don't ever look behind at the work you've done

For your work has just begun

There'll be the evening in the end

but till that time arrives

You can rest your eyes
