Paper Walls

Coming home, quiet night
The house is dark and still
Silently I sit beside your bed
For an hour or for two
So far, and still, a breath away
If only I could break — the seal
And take away the weight of time
All the words that fear the bright light
All the wounded loving thoughts
Safely wrapped in silent darkness
Wish your dream had paper walls
The moon, she takes my shadow
Lays it gently beside you
For this moment, it is not for long
Dawn will call me off again
All the words that fear the bright light
All the thoughts, the orphaned songs
Longing for this silent darknss
Hope tonight your dreams have papr walls
And you can hear my song
So you can hear my song
