Before I Sleep - Marika Hackman

Burning a road through my mind around fire

For the light you shed was blinding

A rapid, caught in your glow, I am frozen

And the yielding golden

I foresee this ending in a shower of flame

Don’t drink our only water soon

And I’ll wash my love in hands out through

For I am off the sun and this night is getting old

When dawn breaks on my door

Standing at the edge of the forest

I’m standing

The silky bell reminds me of the miles I have yet to travel

And the hearts stay sheets, I used to wrap around my waist

Well I hope you’ll find the peace you seek

And wake me up in 5−6 weeks

For we exist that night

And the silence feeble late

And first against the man to say
