Deep Dark Sleep

Woke up to thunder and lightning, no one but darkness beside me With the walls of my room falling in like a tomb And all my good days behind me, got no reason to be afraid With pillows and blankets, and blood in my veins Oh, I shouldn't ask for anything else, but I ask it anyway All through the howling wind, all the rain Holding my breath to the beat of your name Hoping I'll see you again Night gets long 'til the Nightingale's song Cuts through the cracks of my phone Something 'bout somebody singing their lonely Makes you feel not so alone Then I'll picture you at the foot of my bed Take you in the palm of my hand Say "I know you'd carry the weight of the world But it sure feels good to dance" All through the howling wind, all the rain Holding my breath to the beat of your name Hoping I'll see you again And when I fall to a deep, dark sleep, the kind that has no end I'll wait at the gates like I'm seventeen The moon just a pearl in my hands You'd stare at your sneakers and kick 'round the lace Like "Who needs the world anyway?" When I love you more than any of those songs we play could say All through the howling wind, all the rain Holding my breath to the beat of your name Hoping I'll see you again Hoping I'll see you again
