With a Lily in Your Hand - Eric Whitacre

With a lily in your hand

I leave you, o my night love!

Little widow of my single star

I find you

Tamer of dark

Butterflies!

I keep along my way

After a thousand years are gone

You’ll see me

O my night love!

By the blue footpath

Tamer of dark

Stars

I’ll make my way

Until the universe

Can fit inside

My heart
