Shaft of light between the shades
Penetrates
My eternal night curtailed.
Now this light falls at my feet
Drawing me
“Come walk out the door, be free, be free”
Oh what I’ve been missing these years,
To feel the breeze cool my face
And not be kept in a jar like a bug
Come collect just like a bird
Fly away
Please return another day
Take the gifts placed in the tree
Begging you
Just look up and smile tonight, tonight
Oh what I’ve been missing these years,
To feel the breeze cool my face
And not be kept in a jar like a bug
7 gifts placed in the tree just begging you to smile
7 gifts placed in the tree just begging you to smile at me.
When the drunk comes calling
I will be there
When he drags you down to the floor
I will be there
I can stand alone in the house
But I know the feeling that feeling you're close
So I'll stay behind the door
I'll never venture out so far and give you anymore
