WAKE Don't know why I covered But somehow it fell Don't know when the branches Begged to sleep and yearned to tell Somewhere there was you And at one time I shone through And the dewdrops started falling And I guess you saw the truth There was me at a time I started crying with the moon Beneath the dusty glow of dusk But you held me on 'til noon You saw through but you looked past You saw the puzzle but you didn't run Tried to put me back together Saw through me and saw someone Don't know why it ended But I wished that it would last You took my hand when it felt like frost Saw through to me and looked on past When the dewdrops started falling And I was sure that I was chipped You looked at me and you were steady When I swear I could have slipped Somewhere in the puzzle Above the doubt signed near my name You convinced me there could be a glow So thanks to you for the day that came.
