sound asleep in an ocean of crashes
sound asleep in pouring black rain
bedside voices praying with tears of ashes

stung by the salt of weepig skies
all alone lying shoulder to shoulder
all alone with hot hand in hand

sleepy gestures of silent tongue and lashes
cheek to cheek with last goodbyes


hold me a child in your arms
hold me, please hold me
i'm lost in your gaze

floating away

wide awake on an ocean of silence

wide awake in soft lullabies
linen shadows floating through open sashes
all in the touch of a mother's eyes


hold me a child in your arms
hold me, please hold me

watermarked sky of tears that i cried
is floating so high


all in the touch of a mother's eyes
stung by the salt of weeping skies
cheek to cheek with last goodbyes
