Apollo and I
I set your body down
Wrap you in the blanket of the stars
Where Apollo and I stand watch
By your side
I hold your body close
Keep you in the guard of heaven
And that is where I will stay
By your side
Feel your thoughts with mine
With message and magic in your words
And this is where I escape
By your side
I hold your hand with mine
You make the cosmos jealous
But what do I care
I'm by your side
The beauty of the stars
In the beauty of a star
And where do I find it
By your side
Rock in the ocean's cradle
Waves lull you to slumber
And where am I found
By your side
Apollo and I stand watch
We protect the beauty of the stars
The beauty of your soul
By your side
I keep you close to me
The light of the stars rains down
Showering you in light
You take it, as if you need more
I fall into your depth
I sink in your ocean
Comforted by the blanket of the stars
And you
