The moors are bare
About this track
The moors are bare Recorded, performed, and written by Patrick Burke, 2025 "I Live in Dream" The moors are bare I live in dream, The moors are bare I live in dream, The moors are bare I live in dream, The moors are bare I live in dream, where shadows sigh, Beneath a cold, and mourning sky; The moors are bare, the winds are low, And none but phantoms, come and go. The stars have eyes that do not see, They burn in vain for one like me— A soul unclaimed by hearth or kin, With midnight’s whisper deep within. No morning, breaks this twilight mind, No earthly voice, no touch, no kind; Only her face, pale as the tomb, Appears to light my spirit’s gloom. She speaks in hush, in haunted rhyme, A relic lost to death and time; And though I reach, I cannot keep What only walks when mortals sleep. I live in dream— alone, unseen— Where love is ghost, and hope is keen. And should I wake, I fear the day Would steal her shade and drift away. I live in dream, The moors are bare I live in dream, The moors are bare I live in dream, The moors are bare I live in dream, The stars have eyes that do not see, They burn in vain for one like me— A soul unclaimed by hearth or kin, With midnight’s whisper deep within I live in dream, The moors are bare I live in dream, The moors are bare I live in dream, The moors are bare The moors are bare PB2025
