Don't wake the kid up
Won't make a fuss
I promise
It'll be silent this time
Like a lonely ride
Or a bug trying to hide
The door in between
Nowhere else to be
Than the darkness out there
Of an endless night
No-one's out tonight
Just clouds and moonlight
And I know around the next bend
I'll be lonesome again
I could draw your face right now
The dots, the lips, the cuts
For no-one else to see but me
And the beauty...
Like a plane-scratched sky
Or stains of sunlight
The breeze it kind of stirs
The trees they kind of hurt
On a rooftop a row of birds
Wait silently
As if they all agreed
There's a better place to be
They already see that around the next bend
I'll be lonesome again
