Now It's Overhead

Black-Out Curtain

Now It's Overhead


Black-out curtain 
stop the sun from melting sleep.
Wake up in the dark and don't know what time it is. 
Lay bodies down beside where dark reveals a truth
through dreams of a brighter room 
where a sun can live. 
A gentle softer sun to fade us into coherence 
and to start a day born without regret. 
Don't ever go away from here and I will never go away. 
Black-out curtain drop. 
Lie there on the floor. 
Don't block out our stars again, 
we must wish on them. 
A nearly falling first one projecting 
through our room and then shooting big 
as we place our dreams on it. 
But when barren empty night bears harsher day sunlight,
we can't see in arms the hope 
we could hold in them.
Don't ever go away from here and I will never go away.
