the sun was going down shadows lengthened on the ground snow fell silently and deep blanketing the empty streets in a fragile way couldn t face another day in need of love and care broken under repair i m the quicksands of despair in the desert of unfair you found me drowning there caught my glance of do not care you took me to your bed laid your hands upon my head said sleep now have no fear you are safe for i am here we d talked the night away into another day in the morning you were gone now every moment seems too long my thoughts went round and round impossible to sleep i started burning bridges when i gave up counting sheep an asbestos chimney can shorten your life
