The twilight gently falls upon the willow leaf
I do not want to hold the weight of heavy grief
The quiet path is soft beneath my weary feet
Where ancient moss and silent deeper shadows meet
A peaceful sanctuary opens in the green
The calmest holy place that I have ever seen
The starlight holds my heart so safe and very still
Above the misty woods and on the lonely hill
No winter storm can break the comfort in this space
A soft and steady warmth upon my faded face
I used to run so fast to chase the fading light
And wept with bitter fears before the lonely night
But standing here alone inside the deeper shade
I find a quiet hope that will not ever fade
A peaceful sanctuary opens in the green
The calmest holy place that I have ever seen
The starlight holds my heart so safe and very still
Above the misty woods and on the lonely hill
No winter storm can break the comfort in this space
A soft and steady warmth upon my faded face
The low and tender fiddle breathes a quiet sigh
While soft and misty flutes can make the sadness die
There is no need to hurry now or look for flame
The forest knows our sorrow, whispering our name
My steps are very slow upon the mountain floor
But I don't feel the weight of sadness anymore
A hidden truth is found within this silent land
The healing always starts right where we calmly stand
The starlight holds my heart so safe and very still
Above the misty woods and on the lonely hill
No winter storm can break the comfort in this space
A soft and steady warmth upon my faded face
The white fog wraps me warm and kind
The beautiful peace I longed to find
It stays until the end
