When you come to me
The lights are out and I am asleep
Now I don't know why
And I don't count why
Your eyes are so bright
And your words are so clear
You say all you need
And you disappear
I reach across the air
Extend a hand, but no one is there
I hear you laugh
A fading light in a photograph
(I forgot what heaven is not)
Your eyes are so bright
And your words are so clear
You say all you need
And you disappear
I hear it in the creaking floor
I hear the ghosts down the hall
A spark, a dying flame
I hear the static
Across decades
So thanks for stopping by
From your star in the next life
One last thing, before
You slip back to the other side
