I took my lyre and said:
Come now, my heavenly
tortoise shell: become
a speaking instrument

Its nights like this I try to hide
the pieces of you still left inside.
Its nights like this I try to fight
Images of you still in sight

So as the water hits and tears fall
Il convince myself not to call.
When this pain is too much to bare
It would just be easier if you didn't care.

Its nights like this I close my eyes
and relive that one told lie.
Its nights like this I hate you most
for leaving me with your ghost.

So now I stare into space
picturing myself in that place
That day your blue eyes stopped time
unfortunately our love was a crime.

Its nights like this I miss you so
I wish I didn't let you go
Its nights like this I love you most
when all I want is to hold you close.

Dry your eyes.
Fix your hair.
Wipe your runny nose.
Who knew.
Things may improve,
So, don't read the news.
Go about your daily business
As if the sky were blue,
As if you didn't know,
As if you don't care.

Maybe twilight time
Is a small slice of heaven
Seeping through the cracks

Jacob dear you are still here
Living in my heart
With every beat, the memory
Of you held in my arms

The day we met although short lived
It's you I still adore
But who am I to question why
God needed you more

As surly as I live we'll meet again
On the other side
But until then I will keep you in
Both my heart and mind
