If I could watch you sleep
I would not have the heart to awake you
I am poor ... unattractive ... lack entertainment ...
Where do I find the nerve
To take you?
I hear the hum of the lake in your eyes
My bones revolt, break through my skin
To protect you
I will crawl to the four corners of the world
Alas, you have instructed me
To forsake you.
If I could watch you sleep
I would gather birds and hire instruments
To awake you.

I will crawl to the four corners of the world
Alas, you have instructed me
To forsake you.
If I could watch you sleep
I would gather birds and hire instruments
To awake you.
