Cure

sunk deep in the night
I sink in the night
standing alone underneath the sky
I feel the chill of ice
on my face
I watch the hours go by

the hours go by...

you sleep
sleep in a safe bed
curled and protected
protected from sight
under a safe roof
deep in your house
unaware of the changes at night

at night
I hear the darkness breathe
I sense the quiet despair
listen to the silence
at night
someone has to be there
someone has to be there

someone must be there
