Sleep

Sleep, easy with eyes closed

Easier than most, most of the time

And I'll stay by your bedside

Till morning hides the night like a steady machine

And the sun will seem brighter again

And your eyes will be rivers as you're telling your best friend

I might not see you again

And I'll stay by your bedside

I'm stronger than eye sight, most of the time

I'll be like a brick wall

With legs braced I won't fall, I'm a steady machine

But my eyes will grow tired again

And I'll fall into dreams where you're getting out of bed

And becoming whole again

And my eyes are tired

My tears are stains

The clock keeps moving on

There's a selfishness in all of this

And I am holding tightly to your hand

But your grip is gone

And I'm losing hope

And quietly but still out loud I'll say

Oh take me with you, take me too
