歌詞

The cover closes like a door

That promises tomorrow

The ribbon sleeps in chapter twelve

The cup is rinsed and dried

The lamp performs its last kind task

And dims with quiet pride

The story pauses, doesn't end

Good stories never do

Finis for tonight, my friend

The rest is safely kept

All my days were written down

Before a single step

I carry one warm lamb to bed

Its dreams too deep to wake

It spent the evening guarding books

And sleeping for my sake

The bookshelf holds a hundred nights

As gentle as this one

Finis for tonight, my friend

The rest is safely kept

All my days were written down

Before a single step

A night of lamplight, tea and tales

Repairs the quiet seams

The book goes back, the heart goes on

The reader goes to dreams

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Finis for tonight, my friend

The rest is safely kept

All my days were written down

Before a single step

Finis for tonight, my friend

The rest is safely kept

All my days were written down

Before a single step

The cover closed, the lamp bowed out

And all of it was grace
