Hewitt Stevens
Oracle of Light
Now the days roll by without you
Shadows and shape in the night
Your laughter still lives on in the sunrise
To me, you’re an oracle of light
I hope you now live in a rainbow
Down here so many shades of grey
But deep in the night when the moon glows
I re-call these words you said
When the sun sets upon your dreams
May the gift of grief guide you
To the edge of your known world
To that horizon where heaven and earth meet
And may you discover there
That the sun also rises
(music)
I can still hear you say like it’s yesterday
Life’s a gift, to live every day
You gotta savor the scent of each moment
Too soon, the gift shies away
The light of your love surrounds me
Everyone you touched, feels that way
Like an oracle of light in the darkness
For the lost, the found, the strays
And once again, I can hear you say
When the sun sets upon your dreams
May the gift of grief guide you
To the edge of your known world
To that horizon where heaven and earth meet
And may you discover there
That the sun also rises
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene
Such precious times we had
Living the dream
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene
We had the time of our life
Living the dream
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene
