Leaves In The Wind

The stars twinkle in the night
Like the sparkle in your eyes
The colored diamonds in the sky
The wind is cold

The trees rustled in the wind
I find myself stuck again
In this lion's den
The storm is coming

Take care my child
May you rest in the wild
The pain will never be mild
They lay you down

Tears fall from people's faces
They go off to their safe places
To their lives of leather and laces
The pain is mine alone

I crawl into his arms tonight
Hidden in the darkness I start to cry
He comforts me as you die
I hope you rest in peace
