In the night was the dark, in the dark was the dream In the dream was the child, and myself there unseen In the book was the word, in the word there was truth In the truth there was age, in the age there was youth And I said to the child, do your hands they still bleed After all of this time, do you think there's still me But the child only smiled, and said not a word In the snow it came down, as if it hadn't heard And on that night the snow came down To heal the scars our lives had found And the years that they'd broken And there upon that bridge of dreams Across the night we walked unseen With no words ever spoken And then on through that night we'd walk for a while And the steps turned to blocks, and the blocks turned to miles Then we followed a path for as far as we could Till we found ourselves there in evergreen woods There were thousands of candles upon every tree It was beautiful, but it was one mystery For with all of those candles you must understand That the only one lit was now there in His hands And there upon that crisper sea The candle wax of melted dreams And the years they had taken And as that snow did gently fall We one by one relit them all Till each tree was awakened guitar And then there to that light this young child showed to me All the things that he dreamt, all the things that might be How for everything given that something is gained Strike one match in the dark and all the world's not the same And then I asked that child why this night has a star And he said so we'd know that we could see that far And these candles are where to that star's distant light And it all came to be upon that long winter's night That long winter's night That long winter's night And when I awoke, well the child he was gone But somewhere in my mind I believe he lives on Somewhere in my life between here and the end On a long winter's night I will dream him again Thank you for watching!
