Misfortunes

I would chase the moons cold eye

Into the bitterest day

And I would watch the sun-dial

And in its shadow stay

So don't let me be afraid

I would hear misfortunes cry

Out of its virtuos face

And I would watch the sun-dial

And through its darkness race

The silver star of morning

Blinks down a tear from the sky

The sun has now arisen

The night closed its watchful eye

So don't let me be afraid

I would chase its ancient time

Into the perilous wastes

And I would watch the sun-dial

And in its shadows wait

So don't let me be afraid

I would hear misfortunes cry

Pay to its warning no heed

As I would watch the sun-dial

My darkest thoughts were freed

The silver star of morning

Blinks down a tear from the sky

The sun has now arisen

The night closed its watchful eye

So don't let me be afraid

Don't let me be afraid
