For my mom.

lyrics

Sleep. Don’t let my love wake you,
‘Cause I’m hanging on to what these eyes once knew.
Stay. I beg you, don’t leave this place
For there’s light left in these days.
Dream what lovers will dream,
It’s all that remains, I cannot bring you home.

Fall, it’s what we’ve been needing.
I know I may not understand your world.
Breathe and keep your eyes open
For these nights will pass soon enough.
Take this invisible hand,
It’s stretched out before you to take you away from here.

This has passed, and these are my words for you.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Leave this baggage behind you,
‘Cause there’s still too much to carry on your back.
Stand with others around you.
They will hold you up, receive your strength in them.
Fly in the light of their love,
They will not falter and I will not let you down.

Wake. Step into the cool night air.
Let the moon unmask its beauty and shine on you.
Feel this fire surround your soul,
‘Cause this candle burns for you.
Stay where the water is clean.
I will be steadfast, my love won’t change.

This has passed, and these are my words for you.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Alleluia...
