A Dim Entrance

Send me to bed

My head's drowning out

The thick and blurry sounds

Of horses on the highway

The days are running down

And I'm drowning out

This overwhelming sad



Send me to bed

And tamp out the lamp

In the dark the colors fade

To shades of grey and black

But the city's fireflies

Wash the bedroom with light

Like an overwhelming sad



I must be drowning out



The roar of the engines

As they escape into night

The stillness unravels

The long lost strands of our lives

They drift out the window

They drift out to sea; and I fall asleep

To an overwhelming sad
