Hold on to these words,
I'd like to think that they may offer
Some protection,
Against the night
Against the night,
Your life can feel transparent,
A reflection,
A trick of light
So when sleep just won't come,
And you've got no occupation,
But nibbling at the fruit
Of the melancholy tree,
Just hold on to these words,
Hold on to me
Just hold on to these words,
They're the best I've got to offer
At the moment,
As a lullaby
As a lullaby,
You can lay down by the tracks
And feel the world
Slip by
