Stay Awake

stay awake this morning, my dear
pour away your sadness and fear
cause the night is worldly and cold
and the dreams get shallow and old
I feel numb and painless, my dear
and there are no comforts here
but I can feel when you hold my arm
I can feel when you put down your guard
keep me warm this morning, my dear
and I’ll stay in bed for years
but the night will come eventually
and there will be better days, you’ll see
