If i cried for your salvation
would you lend me your shattered heart
so with needle and thread i may mend it
before once again it falls apart
and if i sang you these lullabys
would you rest your swollen eyes
and when you scream for death to take you
i'll hold you gently so not to break you

and in those days where in yourself you hide
i'll sit silently by your side
with one thought the tears will flow
with a wound so deep the bone will show
you can bind and bind and wined and wined it
but sooner or later your mind will find it
so best to cry the night away
and in the morning with unspoken words your heart will say

once upon a time my eyes were brighter
and with your love i was lighter
for a while i might ignore the birds sweet song
but i will heal before to long
so tonight i am yet unbroken
this last tear our lost loves token
