Cornelia and Jane

I hear them whispering
Just out of view
Still unknown what's inside of you
Outside your window,
Neighbors peer in at you

How can we care for you?
How can we hold on to you?

Caught up in motion, swirling around,
Sometimes you're standing still
On uneven ground
Too many sirens they keep you up at night

Sit back and, hold your ears
How will we hold back your tears

I hear them whispering, they analyze
But no one knows what's lost in your eyes
Sending the message, it doesn't get to you
How can we care for you?

Slipping, away deep, inside of you
And how can we hold on to you?
