Tenderly

Well I want
Somebody to hold me while I die.
A prayer to keep the peace I hold inside.
A potters field with rose petals strewn at our feet.
And to beat the blessed Earth with our heart beats.

So be still when the darkness closes in.
And tremble when the winds lay waste again.
Clinging to the dust that stalks the wind.
And laying in the dark with our eyes open.

And we’ll go to sleep again.
And our hearts will collide.

Well I want
To be there when the shadow bares its skin.
To hold you in the Earth’s unholy din.
While thunder crash and lightning cross the night.
And bathe our hallowed eyes in the moonlight.

So be still when the silence passes through.
And tremble when it pulls me far from you.
I’m clinging to your breath that touched the wind.
Naked in the dark with our eyes open.

And we’ll go to sleep again.
And our hearts will collide.
