I Saw Three Cities

sing me to sleep of all the lives you lived
all the visions passed through your gaze
when you were so sick on the streetline ablaze
sing me to sleep of what you used to see
and what will never be whole again
when you rose up to the kingdom for a day
tumbling softly through all of time and space

trust so fervently
trust so nervously
please try to trust in me

sing me to sleep of all the worlds you built
that no one could see but you
how they call you back to a place you once knew
a favourite colour that would swallow you
when your illness made you start to float
reaching up to where the lightning grows
reaching where it could speak with you alone

trust so fervently
trust so nervously
please try to trust in me

sing me to sleep of what it’s like to leave
to be wrapped in bandage and tape
this is the last fuss I will ever make
(I will be silent past today)
this is the last fuss I will ever make

oh, my long-lost friend
if you get sick again
oh, how I call your name
from deep in the place that knows you might not hear it someday

oh, but at night you stay
no, you are not afraid
oh, so I hold you close
and up towards your sleeping face, I whisper “don’t let go”
