Paul Shapera
Elysian Night
[Verse 1: Jasper]
Elysium
The silent sighed lost lullaby
Elysian night

[Chorus]
Elysium
The child who climbs the edge of time
Elysian night

[Verse 2]
The place the child you hardly knew
Sailed to in his wooden shoe
Past the last star in the sky
Where wishes never wished go lie

[Chorus]
Elysium
The silent sighed lost lullaby
Elysian night

[Verse 3]
The place where all the love you shared
Went day by day 'til none was there
Where yearning and forgotten dreams
Are nursery rhymes the quiet sing
[Bridge]
Elysium
The silent sighed lost lullaby
Elysian night

[Chorus]
Elysium
The child who climbs the edge of time
Elysian night

[Verse 4]
The childhood friend you knew was there
But never saw, or touched, and where
They went when never called again
The place their loneliness all ends
All the sorrow, guilt and shame
Burdens born and karma paid
In one soft breath, like candlelight
Dispersed in endless Elysian night

[Bridge]
Elysium
The silent sighed lost lullaby
Elysian night

[Chorus]
Elysium
The child who climbs the edge of time
Elysian night
