1. TILL THE PALE MOON DARKENS

Creeping toward the blinding light,
Aching eyes, tired old bones,
Writhing in the twilight of my life,
On the edge of passing over.

The burden of darkness,
The weight of the dusk,
Lay me down, so I may rest,
Silently swaying in your arms,

Stay with me, a little while longer,
Till the stars shine no more,
Stay with me, a little while longer,
Till the pale moon darkens.

And as I leave this love behind,
To slumber for an eternity,

Within yourself you'll always find,
The love I bear you eternally.

Stay with me, a little while longer,
Till the stars shine no more,
Stay with me, a little while longer,
Till the pale moon darkens.

Don't wallow in pain and regret,
Don't let your life slip away,

Stay with me, a little while longer,
Till the stars shine no more,
Stay with me, a little while longer,
Till the pale moon darkens.

Stay with me, a little while longer,
Till the stars shine no more,
Stay with me, a little while longer,
Till the pale moon darkens.

Don't wallow in pain and regret,
Don't let your life slip away,
Don't dwell in remorse or sorrow,
Leave all your doubts in the past.
