Comfort Me

Sunrise creeping up on me Sizing up its enemy Comfort me We cannot go back home again To where it's dark and warm And where our mother comes to hold us long And freely hear our weary song But somewhere out there is a house Where children run and people shout The love of God in all its faces Birds and chimes and empty spaces Comfort me Comfort me I have something safe for you It's tough like love and always true You'll find it on the lakes of old Ontario So wide and cold Love is in the steaming tides A million eyes on metro lines The noise of colours, screaming cries The touch that makes your eyes go wide Comfort me Comfort me Can I rest here for a while Is it safe to sigh Not with passion, only quiet Can I rest my eyes Comfort me Comfort me Comfort me
