It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

It was a dark and stormy night last night
Bitter dark
Rain fell in torrents
Stabbing it's ghosts through the cold
And straight through our hearts

I've been waiting, in halfhearted sleep
For a promise I half meant to keep
Just for hoping that hope still flies
Wipe the sleep out of our sleeping eyes

Fog that is lifting
The spectre of dreams we once had
Speaks into the night
Slumber is over
Sunlight is streaming through
Come into the light

I know
Hope has not forgotten me
I know
I'm waking from the longest dream
