Good Morning Night

Today a tribute to my sister

And I don't want to make her feel

Any worse than she must feel

Today my arms reach for survivors

A medal I had never won

But it's never meant this much, it's obvious

Bells ring, waking

The thought of yesterday is beckoning

Night lies to razz

Life is a long breath

Hey now

I'll be on occasional vacation

Pretending I never grew up

And I've never given up on anyone

Bells ring, waking

Lure of sedation always beckoning

Good morning night

Mine is a lifetime

Can't imagine life without those blue eyes

But they will take those lights away

When they see 'em in harms way

This is the killer you are tempting

The other sum of all we are

Resent to live, resent to wait, resent to fight

Bells ring, waking

The sound of innocence is beckoning

Night storms to lout

This is a long life

Hey now
