about

Of drifting off and waking up 1,000 years ago.

lyrics

The fog is blanketing the water,
the moon is smiling at the stars
and yet another day is over,
but the night ahead is ours.

The fires are burning in the distance,
and laughter mingles in the air
the drums and pipes are sweetly sounding,
the world a moment knows no care.

And though the morning comes again
the dreams we’re dreaming need not end
when we arise and wake
for something lingers when we’ve gone
and there it waits ‘til we return
to dream another day.

Now as I gaze across the fire,
the faces ‘round me seem to change
one world a thousand years behind me,
and even I am not the same.

The voices echo something magic,
a peaceful feeling fills my soul
and every warm smile that I meet
drives away the evening’s cold.

And though the morning comes again
this dream I’m dreaming need not end
when I arise and wake
For something lingers when I’ve gone
and there it waits ‘til I return
to dream another day.

And when at last the night is sleeping,
and the embers burning low,
I watch the bright moon slowly sinking,
and feel an ache that I must go.
But then the breeze picks up and carries,
to follow me, a quiet song
A soft caress of ancient music--
my heart cannot be heavy long.

For though the morning comes again
this dream we're dreaming need not end
when we arise and wake
for something lingers when we’ve gone
and there it waits ‘til we return
to dream another day
for something lingers when we’ve gone
and there it waits ‘til we return
to dream another day.

Lauren Oxford
by Lauren Oxford

I could listen to Lauren sing forever. Her writing is vivid and sensitive, sweetly and painfully human--never apologizing for sharp corners and rough edges. The beauty of her spirit shines through. Summer Russell

Hi Talis! I heard you sing this on your song swap with Piers, I absolutely love it and in fact I am nicking it to be the first song I learn to play with my new CONCERTINA. V appropriate for a sailor’s song. I promise it won’t be a shanty when I’m done. bohemiancoast
