The emptiness of the house

screams from every wall.

The moans of loneliness

are echoes in the hall.

I cannot still my mind

of it's constant drone.

Focus is scattered all about

leaves me all alone.

A cold and stirring draft

breaks the warmth day.

Captures my frozen heart

and whisks it far away.

The words of the World

fade into the night.

I think of the pain I caused

and how to make it right.

The snow's gently falling

coats the valley floor.

Reminds me that the things I do

soon will be no more.

As the moon dances

on this coat of white.

My dreams of you carry me

softly into the night.

Now I lay me down

to drift into a fitful sleep.

My head lies on the pillow

stained with the tears I weep.

I can hardly wait

for the sun to shine again.

Brightening the path I walk

on the life I try to mend.

Tomorrow will come quickly

too fast for me to rest.

So I can stagger through a day

where I will try my best.

The comfort that is you

is capturing my mind.

Even in this darkest of night

you are so very kind.

Suddenly there's a knocking.

Upon my jailhouse door.

You come to free me of my pain

cause that's what friends are for.

You gather me in you arms

and you crush my pain.

take me from this fantasy

of a coffee colored rain.


So you whisper softly

it will be alright.

Hold me in your tenderness

help me make it through the night.
