Little one

Go to sleep
we're so tired now
altogether in a snake pit of souls
new days
to throw your chains away
to try to hang your hopes on the wind
Little one
just a little way
today all we need is waiting
Night rise
like the evening prize
in a turnstile backwards we fly
cold bones
tied together by
black ropes we pulled from a swing
Little one
just a little way
today all of the dreams are waking
Can't stand on crooked legs
i'm cross-eyed to the wall
in these harbor lights
satellites explode
Drown, drown
sailors run aground
in a seachange nothing is safe
strange waves
push us every way
in a stolen boat we'll float away
Little one
hold on
all of the dreams are wasting
