Dead Stars

Anything your dreams can hold, boy Innocence that fools deliver Placed my own dreams on the mantle Next to portraits of my heart Damned to hold near guttered candles And wish on stars long-dead That patience would bring dreams That none but she knows are there My indifferent adversary A clock better armed than myself Please never leave me alone My saving Grace Sing a song over my bones Don't let me be erased Wearing smooth the lonely rocker Nothing ventured nothing gained, they say Took the pages from my father Trading sparks for yet more time The empty station's faithful watch The dragging snare of loss and pain To save me from my own fires For the dust of this boring fate It never blows away But piles high heavy on shoulders Until there's no me to speak of at all Please never leave me alone My saving Grace Sing a song over my bones Don't let me be erased Please never leave me Please never me, my saving grace Sing a song over me Sing a song over me, don't let me be erased
