Into The Night

The sunken summer sun leaves the day behind.
Its presence still lingers on as the
sky takes on a darker shade of orange.
Soon I will have to say goodbye.
But for now I just hang on to
these last hours with you.
It's always the same routine,
everytime again since so long.
And I wouldn't want to trade it for the world.
As the hour turns late and you gently fall asleep
I savour every moment.
One last kiss and I turn my back,
step in to the dark night.
Every time it swallows me whole
and I enjoy the long way home.
Still under your influence I make
my way through the darkened woods.
With a brilliant star to watch over me.
