New Favorite Pastime

24 more to go

and it will be tomorrow

one more day older

one more day closer

to some sort of end

10 am

and I'm already ready to say

let's call it a day

let's call it a day

Get me out of this bed

and tell me what you meant when you said

everything will be ok

The parking lot sea

and me

wait patiently

to hear the still, small voice

beneath the noise

the traffic and sirens say

run away

but the trains say stay

we've been around and it's all the same

only the names change

just hold my head

and tell me what you meant when you said

everything will be ok

just hold my head

and tell me what you meant when you said

take heart child

be still and quiet

know your burdens are mine

dry your eyes

there's so much more

to all of this

than you can see

so close your eyes

tonight

and trust in me

just hold my head

and tell me what you meant

when you said

trust in me
