Deep Dark Sleep

Woke up to thunder and lighting

No one but darkness beside me

With the walls of my room falling in like a tomb

And all of my good days behind me

Got no reason to be afraid

With pillows and blankets and blood in my veins

I shouldn't ask for anything else

But I ask it anyway

All through the howling wind

All through the rain

Holding my breath to the beat of your name

Hoping I’ll see you again

Night gets long till a nightingale’s song

Cuts through the cracks of my phone

Something ‘bout somebody singing their lonely

Makes you feel not so alone

Then I picture you at the foot of my bed

Taking the palm of my hand

Saying “I know you cary the weight of the world

But it sure feels good to dance”

All through the howling wind

All through 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 gate 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 loved you more than the songs we’d play

Or any words could say

All through the howling wind

All through the rain

Holding my breath to the beat of your name

Hoping I’ll see you again
