From the recording Change with the Seasons
Lyrics
Close your eyes, my darling; enter fragile sleep
My silent vigil I will keep
Though the world may seek your harm, I will not flee
Your sword and shield, my arms will be
I will be your strong defense
When earth’s battles here commence
I will heed your call
I will not fall
I am the hero from your tales
Chosen to fight for you, whatever assails
I am no knight, no warrior, I wear no steel
But unlike in your stories, I am real
Stay close by me, dear one; night is drawing near
I’ll guard you from all doubt and fear
Though dark storms may gather, I will not delay
I’ll run to catch you in the fray
Take my hand and follow me
I will lead you faithfully
Through this veil of woe
Face every foe
I am the hero from your tales
Chosen to fight for you, whatever assails
I am no knight, no warrior, I wear no steel
But unlike in your stories, I am real
I am the hero from your tales
Chosen to fight for you, whatever assails
I am no knight, no warrior, I wear no steel
But unlike in your stories, I am real
