Night falls

Time has shown its face

Too many words, too many hopes

And too much we've learned

And life won't wait in comfortable chairs

You look so bleak without a care

Sometimes her eyes close before nightfall

And sometimes my eyes close before nightfall

Cancer calls

Dancing on the seams

Leaves from a tree

All that fades and all that we feed

And I can be brave if you can be bare

Stripping the life and taking what's there

Sometimes her eyes close before nightfall

Take these wings and learn to fly

Hold these eyes which never cry

Watch on me just like a child

Sometimes my eyes close

And sometimes her eyes close before nightfall

Cancer calls
