today you took me back to the cave
to the dark
to escape
to rest my eyes and spend a moment
in your warm embrace.
you sang to me
i closed my eyes
but i could not stay
we were out of time.
your pale hands took mine
and you kissed me goodbye
and you sent me back
into the blinding light.

today you took me back to the cave
to the dark
to escape
to rest my eyes and spend a moment
in your warm embrace.
you sang to me
i closed my eyes
but i could not stay
we were out of time.
your pale hands took mine
and you kissed me goodbye
and you sent me back
into the blinding light.
