Deep Dark Sleep

Woke up to thunder and lightning, no one but darkness beside me
With the walls of my room falling in like a tomb
And all my good days behind me, got no reason to be afraid
With pillows and blankets, and blood in my veins
Oh, I shouldn't ask for anything else, but I ask it anyway

All through the howling wind, all the rain
Holding my breath to the beat of your name
Hoping I'll see you again

Night gets long 'til the Nightingale's song
Cuts through the cracks of my phone
Something 'bout somebody singing their lonely
Makes you feel not so alone

Then I'll picture you at the foot of my bed
Take you in the palm of my hand
Say "I know you'd carry the weight of the world
But it sure feels good to dance"

All through the howling wind, all the rain
Holding my breath to the beat of your name
Hoping I'll see you again

And when I fall to a deep, dark sleep, the kind that has no end
I'll wait at the gates like I'm seventeen
The moon just a pearl in my hands
You'd stare at your sneakers and kick 'round the lace
Like "Who needs the world anyway?"
When I love you more than any of those songs we play could say

All through the howling wind, all the rain
Holding my breath to the beat of your name
Hoping I'll see you again
Hoping I'll see you again
