Transition causes strokes! Or you know, not. – The TransAdvocate:

Priscilla Hernandez – Good Night Kira

Lyrics

Sweetest companion, my solace, my sheer precious pearl
I feel your bond tearing strong and still from that side of the veil
And I can recall your mirage when all fades into gray
Building your memory it feels that you’re only one dream away
Dandelions are floating in evergreen fields
Those yellow flowers incoiling to buds gently inviting to sleep
Good night Kira, good night Kira
Oh I shall wait for you all life long
Until we gather I’d live and die over and over again
for you my light
Good night Kira, now rest my love

I wish I could cradle you in my arms
pretend that you´re here and you’re still alive
But then when I think it’s time to say good bye
I feel a glimpse of your presence
that glides by my side

And dandelions are floating in evergreen fields
those yellow flowers incoiling to buds
gently inviting to sleep
I let you go
I let you leave
Though I shall wait for you all life long
till the end and beyond
Good night Kira, Good Night Kira
