The Blue Hour

I've come to lie beside you

I've come to know the dark for light

I've come to trust just one

and that one died with yesterday

with yesterday

Now that I've laid me down to sleep

for what it's worth, I dress my tears in costumes

never again will we, will I turn to stone

the drowning edges of my pillow

catch the last breath

on a desert leading down

the breath too deep, the breath too long ago forgotten

I've come to lie beside you

I've come to know the dark for light

I've come to trust just one

and that one died with yesterday

with yesterday

Now that all honest clocks bury oceans with sand

our tears have filled them once again

when will I, will we stand at the shore

to cleanse our souls?

To cleanse our souls?

Are memories too deep,

are memories too long ago forgotten

now that I've left that chance to die?

I've come to lie beside you

I've come to know the dark for light

I've come to trust just one

let us not die like yesterday

like yesterday

Can we coincide with drama?

WIll we live to tell our sons?

The cancer of childhood continues to grow

nine days seven times

lost our first to a thousand answers

lost our sight to to tide

can we look away

or must we look inside?

Or must we look inside?
