By Your Side

And when the sunlight wakes your slumber

And offers no such consolation

But leaves you bare

Leaves you opened up against your will

And keeps you here

Where the stillness that you've known and always feared

And if you wake up with that loneliest longing

And if you greet each day so numb

I'm by your side at your call

When you call

I'll wait alone by your side

And when the sunlight wakes your slumber

But you don't dare open your eyes

'Cause when you try

It's like all these things you'd best forget

Won't let you by

Just like all these things you've known and always feared

And if you wake up with that loneliest longing

And though you greet each day so numb

I'm by your side at your call

When you call

I'll wait alone by your side

I'm by your side at your call

When you call

I'll wait alone by your side
