Drawn to the Night

Henry Stewart & Michelle Rosenblum

She was drawn to the night
He wasn’t long for this life
She was dressed all in white
Bless the candles with light

They had met in a storm
He was looking for warmth
Huddled under the canopy
She was hoping to set him free

He came from some money
She came from the sunny side of town
He was hoping that this time
He would not let her down

As the years tumbled by
She was flying in the sky
He was trying to find
Some way to jump that high

She was drawn to the night
He wasn’t long for this life
Her tattered dress barely white
Brush the dry leaves aside

He came from some money
She came from the sunny side of town
She was hoping that this time
She would not let him down

She is drawn to the night
The only time she can see him now
White dove perched upon a bough
Of light, tonight
