Like Sleep

If I know you

like I should

you won’t fall asleep

your eyes will close

as your body goes

edging into dreams

you were awash in water

cold water deep

I was lost in visions

of your beauty steep

let your heart echo

what it really means

then fall on me like sleep

If I know you

like I should

you won’t ever quit

you’ll shake the stack

no holding back

chomping at the bit

you were awash in water

cold water deep

I was lost in visions

of your beauty steep

let your heart echo

what it really means

then fall onme like sleep

And I heard her in-between

she was calling out for me

alone in half belief

her voice was shaking

I could barely hear her speak

her breath was slow and weak

was she calling out for me?

I can’t be certain

you were awash in water

cold water deep

I was lost in visions

of your beauty steep

let your heart echo

what it really means

then fall on me like

you were awash in water

cold water deep

I was lost in visions

of your beauty steep

let your heart echo

what it really means

then fall on me like sleep
