Silver Angel

Something's rockin' the chair on my back porch It's late but I can't help but open the door The chair stops as I step in the windless night It starts again as soon as I step inside Someone's present in the night tonight From the heaven's did alight tonight Whispers softly you'll be alright Come back on outside I re-emerge and see a heron's silhouette by the lake He flaps his wings upon sensing my curious gaze The heron flies like a sliver angel through the trees I follow him as fireflies light the way for me Someone's present in the night tonight From the heaven's did alight tonight Beckons me with his joyous flight Come along for a ride My feet depart from the bonds of the dark, damp clay I chase the bird as he swoops back around the lake We land softly right next to my bedroom door I head in as he returns to his spot on the shore Someone's present in the night tonight From the heaven's did alight tonight Whispers softly you'll be alright There's no pain you can't fight, there's no pain you can't fight
