The Nighttime Song

Here’s a preview track from my upcoming album, Circles in the Night. I originally wrote The Nighttime Song back in the summer of 2020, when the world and my life felt incredibly chaotic. At the time, I was living near a large state park in eastern Pennsylvania where I could hear the sounds of the forest at night, with its rustling trees and screaming foxes. When I wrote this, I pictured two people lying together on a dark summer night, wrapped in tranquility and gentleness as they listen to the sounds of forest life around them.

The Nighttime Song:
Black our shadows, black the sky
Sweet the dark embrace of night
Nightingales will coo and sigh and
Softly sing to you and I

Willows weep and foxes cry
Wishing for the days gone by
Owls, wondering, ask us why
We'd ever leave here, you and I

Ivy decked with fireflies
Tendrils creeping soft and shy
Listen to this lullaby
Let's rest together, you and I
