In her room

[Asheira]

Asheira sat at the window in the darkness of her room, all the staff had finaly made it to their beds, the other slaves, tucked away in their room full of straw sacks and dusty furnishings, her lord, she hoped, asleep, resting in his own bed and she began to hum, her humming went on for some time before she began to sing, her words slipping softly out of her lips to float down the hall like a sweet whisper through the sleeping manner.

Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist

Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

Is it cloak 'n' dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips


There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist
