When you come to me The lights are out and I am asleep Now I don't know why And I don't count why Your eyes are so bright And your words are so clear You say all you need And you disappear I reach across the air Extend a hand, but no one is there I hear you laugh A fading light in a photograph (I forgot what heaven is not) Your eyes are so bright And your words are so clear You say all you need And you disappear I hear it in the creaking floor I hear the ghosts down the hall A spark, a dying flame I hear the static Across decades So thanks for stopping by From your star in the next life One last thing, before You slip back to the other side
