Midnight Sun

Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice

Warmer than the summer night

The clouds were like an alabaster palace rising to a snowy height,

Each star it's own aurora borealis

Suddenly you held me tight

I could see the midnight sun

I can't explain the silver rain that found me

Or was that moonlit veil

The music of the universe around me or was that a nightingale

And then your arms miraculously found me

Suddenly the sky turned pail

I could see the midnight sun

Was there such a night?

It's a thrill I still don't quite believe

But after you were gone

There was still some stardust on my sleeve

The pain of it may dwindle to an ember

And the stars forget to shine

And we may see the meadow in December

Icy white and crystalline

But oh my darlin’

Always I'll remember,when your lips were close to mine

And I saw the Midnight Sun
