sound asleep in an ocean of crashes      sound asleep in pouring black rain      bedside voices praying with tears of ashes      stung by the salt of weepig skies      all alone lying shoulder to shoulder      all alone with hot hand in hand      sleepy gestures of silent tongue and lashes      cheek to cheek with last goodbyes            hold me a child in your arms      hold me, please hold me      i'm lost in your gaze      floating away            wide awake on an ocean of silence      wide awake in soft lullabies      linen shadows floating through open sashes      all in the touch of a mother's eyes            hold me a child in your arms      hold me, please hold me      watermarked sky of tears that i cried      is floating so high            all in the touch of a mother's eyes      stung by the salt of weeping skies      cheek to cheek with last goodbyes
