Against the Night

Hold on to these words
I'd like to think that they may offer some protection
Against the night

Against the night
Your life can feel transparent, a reflection
A trick of light

So when sleep just won't come
And you've got no occupation
But nibbling at the fruit of the melancholy tree
Just hold on to these words, hold on to me

Just hold on to these words
They're the best I've got to offer at the moment
As a lullaby

As a lullaby
You can lay down by the tracks
And feel the world slip by

So when sleep just won't come
And you've got no occupation
But nibbling at the fruit of the melancholy tree
Just hold on to these words, hold on to me
