Resting Place

I love you when you're sleeping
cuz you can't talk back
I love to see you when you're dreaming
Your smile is what I lack
I would rather look at you
than be dreaming too
It's rare to be so peaceful
I will let this moment linger
It would be a shame to waste this bed
on resting

All I have is you and we are running out of thread
A slippery slope we're going down and running out of tread
I keep wondering how it happened
treasuring every moment
softly in the evening
listening to your breathing
two eyes shut and two eyes open
Burning hearts in a different space
I don't want to take your place
I just want to leave you where you lay...
