I should sleep more

At night, in the dark

I hear you call my name

At night, in the silence

I see you cry in pain

The sun has left and night has come

And I should have stopped long ago,

But promises should last forever

Even while I know I cannot do so

It’s the hope I will return

That holds you to my side

But fear of what I've done

That makes you shrink under sky

It was only the simplest voice I heard

That led me to the windy, fateful edge;

For me, the haunted sea and shallow dream

They seemed at last to be an easy test

I watched you-pulled to sea

On a raft that wouldn't float

Yet, I raced to echoed flames

For a night of simple toasts

All of the whispered evening stars shall fall

And in their place a new moon soon will hang

It will speak of daunting, empty sorrow

And of the loneliness I can ever escape

At my gate I knew you waited

For years you sung your heart

And trusted if I knew you

I’d have saved you from the start

I heard you sing, I saw you dance till dawn

I saw your heart open and your arms for only her.

It was then that I felt your eyes fall away

And knew you could love me no more

Now the bitter wind takes hold

But to you I'm always far away

Yet somewhere in my heart

You have found a way to stay

With the sun I waited for you each passing day

Knowing how I helplessly loved you more

Then you would ever allow yourself to realize

so much more than you could ever have wanted me for

I lost you to your sorrow

To pain I couldn’t know

I lost you to your silence

To the weight you carried alone

Under the soft earth my bones lie quiet

The whole world is soon to peace

Yet my tired soul still wanders slowly

As it shall never know of sleep

But at night, in the dark

When I hear you beg my name

Its blackness that call me towards

What was lost that night again

Now I pray you won't forget me

As I'm forced to say goodbye                                                                               

I fade into the blackness

of this cold never ending night

At night, in the dark

I hear you call my name

My soul will wait forever

I close my eyes the same
