Keep me sane, keep me going
whenever there is nothing left to gain,
hold my hand, caress my hair,
tell me to shush when I feel the need to swear.

Embrace me when I'm cold, when I
need someone to hold, at night
when I'm losing light, frightened
by a veil of darkness, covering me.

Cover me like my blanket on
a cold december night, in snow,
in may, when it's really time to go,
stay with me, hold my hand, don't refrain,
keep me going, keep me sane.
