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 weeping 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 mother s eyes hold me a child in your arms hold me please hold me water marked sky of tears that i cried is floating so high all in the touch of mother s eyes stung by the salt of weeping skies cheek to cheek with last goodbyes
