"Silvery Sleep" lyrics - WALTER EGAN

WALTER EGAN
"Silvery Sleep"

Who can say what moves my hand?
Who can see the things I've planned?
All is not as it should be
Dealing with reality
And it comes when nighttime falls
Like a voice the darkness calls

Sometimes I feel I lose my place
When pressure blinds me like a storm
And I'm resigning from this race
I need the night to keep me warm
In darkness, forever deep
Forever deep in silvery sleep

Once upon a time a king
Full of promise, full of spring
Fool at heart and fooled by pride
Foolishly he let love die
So the king and kingdom falls
Like a voice the darkness calls

Can you say what moves my hand?
Can you see the things I've planned?
All is not the way it seems
Time has taken all my dreams
Like a friend the curtain falls
Like a voice the darkness calls
