Lullaby

Stoned, cold
These eyes glazed over
Thin, worn
These hands feel older


Like blood on snow
A soul is tainted
Irreversible
Cold and jaded

But no, not you
You kept me awake
With touch and smiles
I heard you say
When twilight comes

It'll bring a beginning
See how far we've come
Our hearts still beating

Put your hand in mine
We'll keep on dreaming
With time and tide
We'll keep on flowing

But if you fear or fall behind
I'll sing to you this lullaby
To keep you safe from the dark
Until again you're ready to try
