Night Light Face

Night-time finds me sitting
At the entrance of my cave
Listening out for danger
And trying to be brave.
Hoping for a clear sky
Or clear enough to trace
Your glow: I love your night light face.
I love your night light face.

I was taught with tally-marks
To count the passing days
I reckon nine-and-twenty
To see your every phase.
I know that you must weaken
To gather strength to grace
My loving eyes with your night light face.
I love your night light face.

You multiply the living
You welcome back the dead
You shine on all the dreaming
That crowds my sleeping head.
I draw you from the Tarot
When I feel out of place
Dwell on you: I love your night light face.
I love your night light face.
