sleep

One, two, three, four
We can all
Agree
Its a mixed bag
For the living
Full of sorrow
Full of grief
I ran inside the place
for the single thought that could comfort me
Something small, something sweet
It was once in the spring
You were on the porch
Heard you singing
From inside
Sat and listened through the screen
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Now its the time
The last life rafts leaving my mind
As it sinks out of sight
Would you stay for a while
Put your gnarled hands into mine
Hold me down
Feel so light
I could just float away
Just dont let me go to sleep
So long, my sweet
Maybe next time that we meet
Well be whole
Well be weightless
Well be free
Dont let me go to sleep
Just dont let me go to sleep
Just dont let me go to sleep
Its a mixed bag for the living
Full of sorrow
Full of grief

And the moment stretches on
Like the first day of school
And Ive answered wrong
Like a self enclosed short circuit goes
Like a self enclosed short circuit goes
Around forever until its gone

Out of time
And out of place
From the mortal coil deliver
To the great expanse found in the space
Between celestial fissures
Where the sick or soft of mind
Where theyre hardly disfigured
You shed your clothes
You jump the boat
And join us in the river
We were born in the shadow of a callous certainty
Since no one has returned from behind the curtain
I guesswe all just have to wait and see
We build a tall ivory tower
Tallied all our victories
Before all the noise and violent toys
Our strength was in the moment when we were weak
Out of time
Out of place
From the mortal coil deliver
To the great expanse found in the space
Between celestial fissures
Where the sick or soft of mind
Where theyre hardly disfigured
You shed your clothes
You jump the boat
And join us in the river
