[Verse 1] |
|
The sun was going down |
|
Shadows lengthened on the ground |
|
Snow fell silently and deep |
|
Blanketing the empty streets |
|
In a fragile way, couldn't face another day |
|
In need of love and care, broken, under repair |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
I'm the quicksands of despair |
|
In the desert of unfair |
|
You found me drowning there |
|
Caught my glance of do not care |
|
You took me to your bed, laid your hands upon my head |
|
Said, "Sleep now have no fear, you are safe for I am here." |
|
[Instrumental] |
|
[Verse 3] |
|
We'd talked the night away, into another day |
|
In the morning, you were gone, now every moment seems too long |
|
My thoughts went round and round, impossible to sleep |
|
I started burning bridges, when I gave up counting sheep |
|
[Outro] |
|
An asbestos chimney, can shorten your life |
