|
sold a penny to the railroad |
|
nothing gained and nothing lost |
|
kept it underneath the pillow |
|
and sent it out to you for your thoughts |
|
will you hold it close to your heart |
|
or will you lose it the same day |
|
will you throw it in the well |
|
to gently wish me away |
|
do you really want me here |
|
do you really want me to stay |
|
do you really want me gone |
|
do you really want to wish me away |
|
the television glow will keep you |
|
safe and warm when you're alone |
|
and you won't be frightened by |
|
ghosts of birds that fly around the room |
|
and terrorize you flying |
|
im wide awake now |
|
you're sound asleep now |
|
and these valiums are finally kicking in |
|
i can feel it under my skin |
|
i can feel your breath on my breath |
|
i can feel your heart on my arm |
|
i can see the glow in the room |
|
i can see the hummingbird fly away |
|
now i can feel your weight in my arms |
|
i can feel this weight on my heart |
|
do you really want me to stay |
|
do you really want me to go away |
|
im wide awake now |
|
you're sound asleep now |
