Down the evening hallway
Across the silent parkway
The wise of a dawn rises
A one we hear that cries

The piano walks to the yard
Strings tug leaving its prison
The piano stands on the horizon
Playing before the morning light

Into our ears so vividly clear
It takes us far away from fear
We will watch and hear the dusk
A heaven where it will take us

The piano walks to the yard
It casts out a frowning tune
Yet we smile close to it
Reaching our time of love

My dearest father,
A father is one who cares to no end
A father is a protector of the clan
The children would find solace in you
And everyone is in love at the house

From the light an angel comes for the mind
And the darkness sends a demon to bind
One turns the man into a guardian of love
The other of an unholy monster does it glove

You can serve the benevolent or the ill
But you chose the path of dark downhill
A stranger at home and a fear to all you are
What was love has sank into shadow

My dearest father,
A father is not one who neglects forever
A father does not spread fear in the clan
The children would cry away from you
And everyone lives in hate at the house

The sun has fallen under the earth to sleep
An orb of pale glows the ground of deep
A family of lights convene the black sky
Today departs and night guards the morrow

Even in the darkest sights do wonders galore
Shards of serenity comforting the sad moors
A glimpse of calm through the busy clouds
Shining a ray of hope below the grey shrouds

A lonely moonlight shore glistens a plant
A plant warming the heart to an enchant
I am the heart and you are the flower
Winds of your petals course me with love

Past the twilight you radiate beauty
On the dark sand we blossom together
The night lights draw our gaze to the sky
Each moment is a flower with you

You have until the evening comes
Run across the room
Fly aboard your broom
Turn your way to the evening sun

Make your hurry when the evening comes
Long before the dawn
I will not be your pawn
Turn your way to the evening sun

I will give you until the evening comes
Enchant yourself to rush
Miss your times of hush
Turn your way to the evening sun

I will wait for you until the evening comes
Make your path on the gone
Delaying you shall be none
Turn your way to the evening sun
Inspired by "Till the Morning Comes" by Neil Young.

Above the ground I feel a vessel of air
Through the clouds I pass with care
Before me lies the path to the west
I find my return to life for the best

Nature is wondrous to behold in my soar
Time is of no concern in this galore
Space frees me far from the surface
All is a show for my eyes to encompass

The ground was my tomb of distress
Until I saw my escape to the west
To use my wings was the one dare
I fought until I revived in the air

The ground is a memory and the air is home
My arms spread guided my free roam
The horizon is a beauty of orange hue
This heaven I will always stare straight to

She stretches over the pearl with blue
Her waves guide more than a few
The surface embraces a hearty float
Ships sail across this massive moat

Her sky of water houses many creatures
They are a wonder so full beyond feature
The sun treats the surface like a mirror
Reflecting the pearl's beauty so clear

The found sail their way to the islands
The lost are always guided by the winds
But the lost cannot always join the islands
For the found cannot always transcend

The lost ones have lost their home
The pearl calls them to a new home
But the found must grant them a home
The lost and found together will be home

You can glisten with a sharp edge
But remain untrue to your pledge
Frozen with a soul of cold hollow
Leaving a life so short and shallow

You have the strength to hold
But a push can break your soul
Tears fall from the tip of the cone
As the heat tests what you have sown

You can stand out beyond sight
Mesmerize apart from your kind
But in the end you are all the same
A bunch of icicles for the eye to tame
