Lyrics
Twilight falls so gently ‘pon your cheek my precious child, let them wash over your eyes, gently sleep tonight
Though your mother’s already gone, I’m still here with you
In the morning we’ll have tea here in this garden dear, please don’t ever fear, I am always here
Though the walls stretch beyond where we can see, we can still be happy
I know you have hopeful eyes you’re looking somewhere else, the image in the mist, turn back your head
I can’t save you you’re too far away, please come back and sleep
In this garden of mud I can’t sleep tonight
Visions still appear before my eyes, the thousandth time
Over the earthen mouth ready to swallow me while I’m all alone
The mist shows me laughter & flowers, a warmth I have never known
Twilight falls so gently ‘pon your cheek my precious child,
You kept digging in the mud, pushed away all connection,
When your work slipped between your fingers, there was no one left to watch
In this garden of mud I can’t sleep tonight
Visions keep appearing before my eyes, thousandth time
Over the earthen mouth ready to swallow me while I’m all alone
The mist shows me laughter & flowers, a warmth I have never known
Amongst the statues only gazing the other way I’m the one crumbling down
They won’t turn around, it’s too late now
The walls closing in, too tight I’m choking, I’ve got to break out of this maze
I gotta run away or crawl if I can’t, but if not I will dig into the mud with all my blood & flesh and I will build a forest here right where I stand.
And then I’ll sleep
