Willow

Night falls upon the yard like a shade

The willow is weak, the bed has been made

Carried astray are the last of its leaves

Like the last of her voice, tied to the breeze

Cradled in silence

She will release me

Willingly blinded

She tempts the day in

I don't even fight it

I'm losing her now

Night falls within, it bleeds through the bark

Its shadow contains a piece of my heart

But I'm drawing the light into the shade

I'm watching the vines float away

Float away

Float away

Cradled in silence

She will release me

Willingly blinded

She will reveal me

The sun's out of hiding

It's coming to greet me

I can't even fight it

The curtain is down
