Before I Sleep

Burning a road through my mind around fire

For the light you shed was blinding

A rabbit caught in your glow, I am frozen

In the yielding tar, sticky and golden

I foresee this ending in a shower of flame

So drink your holy water soon

And I'll wash my loving hands

I'm through

For I am of the sun

And this night is getting on

When the dawn breaks warm I'm gone

Standing, at the edge of your forest I'm standing

And the milky bed reminds me of the miles I have yet to tread

And the heart-stained sheets I used to wrap around my waist

Well I hope you find the peace you seek

Wake me up in five, six weeks

For we exist at night

And a silent strip of light

Unfurls against the mountain side
