Searchlight

To have someone sticking with you When the rest have left your space A name, a heart, a spine, a face From a blurry place A blurry hope at breathless pace To wake up feeling sick and tired And to hear that it's okay Hear what the gentle voice will say And just melt away To both waste the worthless day The pictures playing in your mind As you lock yourself inside The promise playing in the searchlight To count the nights since you last saw your bed To get out the house again To make it back by god knows when Such simple time you spend But it winds around the bend To find yourself wrapped in a gaze Just a gown in a haze of light To believe it's safe, to believe it's right Like you've missed for all this time The touch of the worthwhile kind The pictures playing in your mind As you lock yourself inside The promise playing in the searchlight To have someone sticking with you At peace with all you've seen At peace with everyone you've been Through a blurry scene In your tiny, crackling dream
