You sang so softly   I closed my eyes   Like snowfall on the water   I, the only child      You had been walking   And your skin was cold   You took the night with you      And I was enthralled   By the power of the light   And the sound of the changing tide of your nature      And it was evening, I saw my breath   I was needing to hear your tenderness   I was blinded by the sight   The power of the changing tide of your nature      Stay singing softly   You take me home   Like a slow boat on the water   Like an old stone      I was blinded by the sight   And the power of the changing tide   Blinded by the night   The sweet sound of the changing tide of your nature
