Silently, suddenly, comes the ghost at your side Quietest enemy inside the dream Perfectly this reprieve, taken, but not given Loneliness, like a mist lost to the sea Eyes like violence cut desire and float down to the chair Always still God's windowsill and perfectly aware Say you'll wait till morning Say you won't run away (even today) Say you'll keep this lantern for me now (for me now) I believe make believe, play like snakes in your hair Empathy, up my sleeve, not really there Child's play in the waves by this silent lighthouse Drowning fast, pushing hard, nature less care Eyes like mice, cut through the lies and humourless despair Always still God's windowsill and perfectly aware Inside this whirlpool you find yourself spinning and ebbing and flowing to me Nightmare diversion a hopeless uncertainty play in the wild wild sea Say you'll wait till morning Say you won't run away (even today) Say you'll keep this lantern for me now (for me now)
