the Lonely Lullaby

Night sleeping hours,
Laying awake in bed.
Light from alarm clock
Scatters overhead.
Knowing love is too far to touch.
Knowing is too much.
For these are the loneliest hours.

Wishing for voices;
Most graceful and kind.
My hair's drowning pillows,
I know you won't mind.
Knowing love is too far to touch.
Knowing is too much.
For these are the loneliest hours.

Pattern of breathing;
Seclusion it sighs.
Heart beating gently;
Lonesomeness it cries.
Knowing love is too far to touch.
Knowing is too much.
For these are the loneliest hours.

A ghost haunts my bedside,
Watching me restlessly stutter.
I smile in grace as
My heart starts to flutter.
Knowing love is too far to touch.
Knowing is too much.
For these are the loneliest hours.

Night sleeping hours,
Laying awake in bed.
Playing forever
The words that we said.
Knowing love is too far to touch.
Knowing is too much.
For these are the loneliest hours.

For these are the loneliest hours...
