goodnight my love

remember me as you fall to sleep

fill your pockets with the dust and the memories

that rises from the shoes on my feet

i won't be back here

though we may meet again

i know it's dark outside

don't be afraid

every time i ever cried for fear

was just a mistake that i made

wash yourself in your tears

and build your church

on the strength of your faith

please

listen to me

don't let go

don't let this desperate moonlight leave me

with your empty pillow

promise me the sun will rise again

i too am tired now

embracing thoughts of tonight's dreamless sleep

my head is empty

my toes are warm

i am safe from harm
