Into Your Grief

Silence falls, it paints the walls

With things I don't dare say

My mouth is torn and my words won't form

I guess that I'm afraid

In the stillness here on these smoke-filled streets

You keep slipping out of my reach

Just let me in

Let me into your grief

Nights are long when sleep won't come

To carry you away

No deep sweet dreams and no movie scenes

To come and ease the pain

In the stillness here on these smoke-filled streets

You keep slipping out of my reach

Just let me in

Let me into your grief

And those eyes, a million fires have died

Right there in your eyes, in your eyes

It's still me keeping you company

I'm there in your eyes, in your eyes

The air is thin and breathing in

Is harder than it seems

It grips my throat and it won't let go

Is this what dying means?

In the stillness here on these smoke-filled streets

You keep slipping out of my reach

Just let me in

Let me into your grief

Please let me in

Just let me in

Let me into your grief

God let me in

Just let me in

Let me into your grief
