Do you hear me this morning?
Do you hear me this dawn?
I am singing a new song
I am shivering from the morning cold, but this sweet light is what draws me in
I am awakening the creatures beside me
I am lighting up their cages
The trees are the greenest green
And the sky is a beauteous blue
The air is fresh
And my heart feels anew

Do you hear me at dusk?
I am tired of this day.
It is time for me to wish you goodnight
And I sing my goodbye song
They all come to their homes
In this twilight

I refuse to live a morbid existence
I refuse to be told to "let it go"
I will enjoy this euphoria while it lasts
For I am a crepuscular being.
