Like An Angel Passing Through My Room

Long awaited darkness falls 
Casting shadows on the walls 
In the twilight hour I am alone 
Sitting near the fireplace,
dying embers warm my face 
In this peaceful solitude 
All the outside world subdued 
Everything comes back to me again 
In the gloom 
Like an angel passing through my room 

Half awake and half in dreams 
Seeing long forgotten scenes 
So the present runs into the past 
Now and then become entwined,
playing games within my mind 
Like the embers as they die 
Love was one prolonged good-bye 
And it all comes back to me tonight 
In the gloom 
Like an angel passing through my room 

I close my eyes 
And my twilight images go by 
All too soon 
Like an angel passing through my room
