Kite

I hid myself from failure and fear
 Oh my dear you're a threat to the bad in us all
 They tell themselves that each word from your lips
 Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall
 Over the twilight you're listening for me
 Darling, go to sleep
 Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
 Loved so deep
 Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
 'Til you cut through my tether and changed everything
 From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
 So I darted back quickly
 To spell out your name
 And when they say that I'm just
 A terrible kite
 You'll tell them you're proud of
 My marvellous flight
 Don't hide yourself inside 'til I'm old
 Oh my dear you're a threat to the bad we all see
 I'm beside myself for the touch of your lips
 Or the grace of your eyes that can see
 Good in me
 Over the twilight you're listening for me
 Darling, go to sleep
 Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
 Loved so deep
 Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
 'Til you cut through my tether and changed everything
 From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
 So I darted back quickly
 To spell out your name
 And when they say that I'm just
 A terrible kite
 You'll tell them you're proud of
 My marvellous flight
