I lay down
To take the weight off my feet,
Now on her couch.
Tell my falling eyes I’m not ready yet.
Under blankets warmth.
The comfort of skin to skin.
If I could catch nightfall
And reset the sun,
I wouldn’t change my place
Not with anyone.
As she sang
I drank some more
And held myself
from holding her.
If I could catch nightfall
And reset the sun,
I wouldn’t change my place
Not with anyone.
Goodnight.
I can’t help myself.
Just close my eyes for a little while.
For all the bells.
To her house
Then to her couch.
Immersion and emergence.
I repeat myself.
I repeat myself.
She sleeps now
Lying on me.
The comfort of skin to skin.
Tell my falling eyes I’m not ready yet.
Let me catch nightfall
And reset the sun.
Goodnight.
I can’t help myself.
Just close my eyes for a little while.
For all the bells.
Oh my sleepyhead reruns the day,
But I cant last
For all the bells.
