BARD’S SONG

                            By Shelby Lee Chandler II

Stay the Night

 

Stay the night with me,

Fear races through my mind,

The demon hides the door from me,

No exit can I find.

 

Stay the night with me,

Confusion is in my head,

Oblivion circles endlessly,

No path for me to tread.

 

Stay with me till morning,

For loneliness holds my heart,

It locks me far from everything,

From all I know, it keeps apart.

 

Lost am I, and only you,

Can pull me from this fate,

So come to me, and take my hand,

And lead me to the gate.

 

For comfort will be my open door,

Understanding will pave my way,

And your love will release the bonds,

And bring me from astray.

 

So stay with me forever,

And hold me ever tight,

Help me to the light of day,

And bring me through the dark of night.
