Edward Young

Edward Young (c. 3 July 1683 – 5 April 1765) was an English poet, best remembered for Night-Thoughts, a series of philosophical writings in blank verse, reflecting his state of mind following several bereavements. It was one of the most popular poems of the century, influencing Goethe and Edmund Burke, among many others, with its notable illustrations by William Blake. Young also took holy orders, and wrote many fawning letters in search of preferment, attracting accusations of insincerity. more »

I don't want to say goodbye
But tonight you have to sail away
When you go, don't look back
I'll see you another day

Like the angel we wait for, you fell from the sky
I won't be the same, I can't even try
I'll never give up but I can't win this fight
There is no darkness without the light

As the night brings the silence
I don't care if you knew
I'll say it all again
I found myself in you

It's time for you to take flight
We'll never forget this love that runs deep
Let me lay by your side tonight
Let me sing you to sleep

There was a time when I was lost and I was blue
You took that away when I first held you
The closest thing to perfect, everything that I couldn't be
Now I'm too weak to cry, you're being taken away from me

It's time for you to take flight
We'll never forget this love that runs deep
Let me lay by your side tonight
Let me sing you to sleep

I've already lost myself
I don't want to lose you too

It's time for you to take flight
We'll never forget this love that runs deep
Let me lay by your side tonight
Let me sing you to sleep
