Dark is the night
When lies start flooding in
I keep you on my shoulder
For a hint of life within
I don't have much to say to you
No prayers now worth anything
But stay safe at the table
Keep our eyes from closing in


Verse 1:

So what we got now?
No time to hold back
If doom is close by us
we've gotta try us can't just fall flat
I'm scared for the day when I have to say goodbye
when she looks into my eyes
and i say i'll be alright but she can tell when i lie
she can tell when i lie
So for tonight, i'll lay by her side
With an arm around you I
keep watch as the night goes by
No nightmares can't touch you dear
I'll keep safe from harm, yes I am here
You have nothing to fear,
this bed is ours to share
memories and making more lying here i keep you warm
pretty one that i adore
And what if time passes and we don't stay
close enough to see eachother everyday
i try my best to say a prayer
where have you gone?
i'll run to you i'll find you soon
not too long
On the taxi ride home you lay your head down,
In my lap you let your hair down
I remember the caramel and the golden brown
I looked up at the stars and wondered if they're smiling now


Dark is the night
When lies start flooding in
I keep you on my shoulder
For a hint of life within
I don't have much to say to you
No prayers now worth anything
But stay safe at the table
Keep our eyes from closing in


Verse 2:

i'm sorry I'm in a dream
i'm with when i'm asleep
when ours souls can finally meet
when i wake im alone again
cold pillow no one's head on my shoulder
i feel your smile through the phone again
I want to feel you next to me
I want you to know the rest of me
be comfortable enough to share your history
Mysteries unwind I try to find the time
thats right around my mind so I can say a simple hi
Why is that so difficult if i had it my way
This would be more than the spiritual
Emotion and love untangible from above
I could hold you in my arms and tell you unashamed that you're the one i love
too bad life got in the way, and age afraid to say what i want to say
I would have told you to your face and never look away
caught in you gaze and your embrace
so you can call this spoken word,
you can call it a poem,
still it's a song, for the one that i love
i only wish that she could know
she used to be Miss Doesn't Care
now she's just Miss Unaware
come to think of it now,
she's changed from a delicate brown
to someone deeper and richer in colour
and we've found a common ground


Dark is the night
When lies start flooding in
I keep you on my shoulder
For a hint of life within
I don't have much to say to you
No prayers now worth anything
But stay safe at the table
Keep our eyes from closing in
