Come, lay your head next to my pillow
Rest my love, rest with me tonight
Let out a breath and a trembling sigh
While I stroke your hair
As tears come falling from your eyes
I’ll clear away every drop, so salty and oceanic blue
And kiss away every fear and sorrow
That has taken you captive, capturing you.
You have been my strength for so long
Holding my chin held high
Looking deep into the onyx pools
Gathering the pieces of my shattered pride
But now you have come in a time of need
Here I am, and I will remain
As long as you want me, I’ll stay with you
While you work and struggle through the pain.
Come my love.. my love
I’ll sing to you those sweet lullabies
The songs that soothe the loitering ache
And childhood memories you try to hide
That keep you in this restless wake.
So turn off the lights and pull down the shades
Crawl under these sheets and put your glasses away
Sleep, my love as you rest your weary soul
While I whisper “I love you”
As you succumb to my hold.
