Nightfall

from Sacred Ground by Jeff Stockton

/

about

A love song for a summer’s evening, under the rising of the full moon, in the chapel of an aspen grove.

lyrics

One summer’s eve, from a pathway, my love and I strayed
Beneath the boughs, full and fragrant, into a silent glade
I hold your hand beneath the aspens as Nightfall enfolds us
Gentle breeze, leaves lift their voices in a whispering chorus
A madrigal as Nightfall sings a hymn to our love

Look to the sky, lost in wonder, cast all cares away
Amber light threading through night’s darkening veil
In the soft summer moonrise the shadows cascade
A mourning dove gently calls into the night’s serenade
A madrigal as Nightfall sings a hymn to our love

Dew kisses skin, catch my breath as we lay in the grass
Warm is your touch as twilight fades, and we move in embrace
Hold me close, whisper my name, the eventide’s sweet words of praise
In harmony two lovers sing a tender refrain

I lay in my true love’s arms under a warm summer moon
Watching one falling star, my wish has come true
I lie here with you

And hold your hand beneath the aspens as nightfall enfolds us
Gentle breeze, leaves lift their voices in a whispering chorus
A madrigal as Nightfall sings a hymn to our love
