Marigold Lanterns at Midnight

We light the marigold path tonight

Under the moon, the candles breathe

Names in the air like a silver prayer

Your memory walks here next to me

Every red candle is a step back home

Every small flame says you're not alone

Dance to the grief

Let the sorrow glow

Lift up your hands

Where the soft winds go

We're none but love

In the evening rain

And we carry your light

Through the dark again

Dance to the grief

With a grateful heart

Though we part in sight

We never part

From the sacred road

Where the spirits rise

You live in our songs

And the fire in our eyes

The trumpet calls from the distant street

Marimba waters the midnight still

I taste the salt of what time has taken

And still I find your smile at will

Every bright petal is a step back home

Every small flame says you're not alone

Dance through the grief

Let the sorrow glow

Lift up your hand

Where the soft winds go

We′ve been in the love

In the evening rain

And we kept the light

Through the dark again

Dance through the grief

With a grateful heart

Though we part in sight

We never part

On this sacred road where the spirits rise

You live in our song

And the fire in our eyes

If I close my eyes I can hear you near

In the rustling steps and the falling tear

But the tear turns gold in the candlelight

And the night becomes a living hymn tonight

Dance through the green

Let the sorrow glow

Lift up your hand

Where the soft winds go

Remember love

In the evening rain

And we carry a light

Through the dark again

Dance through the grief

With a grateful heart

Though we part in sight

We never part

On this sacred road

Where the spirits rise

You live in our song

And the fire in our eyes
