Sleep - Typhoon

We can all agree

It’s a mixed bag for the living

Full of sorrow, full of grief

I ran inside the place

For the single thought that could comfort me

Something small, something sweet

It was once in the spring

You were on the porch, heard you singing

From inside, sat and listened through the screen

Now it’s the time

The last life raft leaving my mind

As it sinks out of sight

Would you stay for a while

Put your gnarled hands into mine

Hold me down, feel so light, I could just float away

Just don’t let me go to sleep

So long, my sweet

Maybe next time that we meet

We’ll be whole, we’ll be weightless, we’ll be free

Don’t let me go to sleep

Just don’t let me go to sleep

Just don’t let me go to sleep

It’s a mixed bag for the living

Full of sorrow, full of grief

And the moment stretches on

Like the first day school and I’ve answered wrong

Like a self enclosed short circuit goes

Like a self enclosed short circuit goes

Around forever until it’s gone
