Do you see it?
Can you hear it?
When it comes it takes the night.

When I feel it
and I know it
I sleep well beneath its light.

It is there with me regardless
and I need to cut it out
for memories are with it
but feelings, I'm without.

like the dreams forgotten all at once
the moment I wake up
I think of her and her and her
a certain, "I can not say what."

I walk a line sometimes at night
between waking and sleeping tight
I feel the darkness and the space
oh god, goodnight...
goodnight
