Night is deep whether you come or not
Inside my dream I fear the knot
Losing and owning blend as one
Vows and lies tear till they come undone
Like a barb sinking in my skin
So dull the ache so deep within
Mayflies rise to the sky
Whales fall down from on high
Borrow the warmth you had before
To ferry my dreams night after night
We cling till dawn then part once more
Before the day breaks into light
Gather the pieces where you appear
Trade them for a peaceful day clear
Then let my soul be kept by you
Through endless nights and endless days
Half awake half asleep that is the worst
Drowning in truth and lies reversed
Every waking is a punishment
Every vision a torment sent
Mayflies rise to the sky
Whales fall down from on high
Borrow the warmth you had before
To ferry my dreams night after night
We cling till dawn then part once more
Before the day breaks into light
Gather the pieces where you appear
Trade them for a peaceful day clear
Then let my soul be kept by you
For endless life and endless night too
Mayflies rise to the sky
Whales sink slow from on high
My love hangs at the edge of the sky
A flame with no place to lie
The sea hangs suspended above the clouds
Borrow the warmth you had before
To ferry my dreams night after night
We cling till dawn then part once more
Before the day breaks into light
Gather the pieces where you appear
Trade them for a peaceful day clear
Then let my soul be kept by you
From now on dwell forever deep inside you
Come into my dream before dawn’s first ray
Dive into the abyss where only you stay
