Take me home.
And away from here.
From this saddened world.
And this pitiful fear.

Take me home.
Into the night.
That I face with love.
Instead of fright.

I don't care about stars.
Or warm glowing light.
Take me instead.
Into cold velvet night.

Without stars.
Without heat.
For the sun burns down.
And in my back it does beat.

It scorches my skin.
It singes my hair.
But the night is calm.
And the moon is fair.

The cool night air.
Brushes my skin.
The sun is setting.
It is time for night to begin.
