Wide eyes
Leaves of sorrow,
fall down on you
The night around you, as it found you, covered in a lacy dew
Are you dreaming,
or are you sad
That every day finds another way of telling you: it can't be had
The unlit path of least resistance led right through you
It passed while making darkness in your bright-shining mood
You carry days like crosses and you never say a word
Cause we're no longer living in another world
Time is passing and birds fly on
Onwards to horizons with a cold and lightless sun
Your blind eyes now are wide eyes and don't regret
The things you haven't done or things you didn't get
Sing me softly
A lullaby
As the willows weep your tears on me at night
Leaves of sorrow,
fall down on you
The night around you, as it found you, covered in a lacy dew
Are you dreaming,
or are you sad
That every day finds another way of telling you: it can't be had
The unlit path of least resistance led right through you
It passed while making darkness in your bright-shining mood
You carry days like crosses and you never say a word
Cause we're no longer living in another world
Time is passing and birds fly on
Onwards to horizons with a cold and lightless sun
Your blind eyes now are wide eyes and don't regret
The things you haven't done or things you didn't get
Sing me softly
A lullaby
As the willows weep your tears on me at night
