Song For A Stormy Night - Secret Garden, Steinar Albrigtsen

The rain beats hard at my window

While you, so softly do sleep;

And you can’t hear the cold wind blow

You are sleeping so deep

Outside it’s dark, the moon hiding

By starlight only I see

The host of the night-time go riding

But you are safe here with me

So, while the world out there is sleeping

And everyone wrapped up so tight

Oh, I am a vigil here keeping

On this stormy night;

I promised I always would love you

If skies would be grey or be blue

I whisper this prayer now above you

That there will always be you

Sometimes, we’re just like the weather

Changing by day after day

As long as we’ll be together

Storms will pass away

I said I would guard and protect you

Keep you free from all harm;

And if life should ever reject you

That love would weather each storm

So, while the world out there is sleeping

And everyone wrapped up so tight

Oh, I am a vigil here keeping

On this stormy night;

I promised I always would love you

If skies would be grey or be blue

I whisper this prayer now above you

That there will always be you

Soon, I know you’ll be waking

Ask did I sleep — did I write?

And I’ll just say I was making…

A song… for a stormy night
