a shadow in the corners
a painted figure in the frame
tall, dark and silent
asleep at day break
sun down is morning
stalking me, jumping into dreams
scaring, protecting, comforting me
pulling pranks on all my friends
small details start to show
still no face or voice
you're my dark angel
and strange devil
you're my Malakai.
you were always there with a smile
when anyone was down
you were always there when we needed a friend
you played a special part
there's always going to be a spot in my heart
that holds you dear to me
I was taken back for a second
when you were gone so suddenly
tears were shed and liquor spilled
to see the brighter times
when you greeted us with your smile
and chased the moose through the pines
but by dawn's early light we saw
you were gone from our sights
but never from our hearts.
